Does anyone have any info on the current state of the PB site?

I have a sick feeling in my stomach just like i did when i woke that faint morning and they had shutdown suprnova...

Im kinda thinking its a joke, i mean they do have a crude type of humor.
not to mention that the whole swedish law change thing doesnt even go into effect till July 1st not June first..... and even in that instance they said on the site that they would not be closing July 1st because under swedish law its still not illegal for them to operate.

not to mention everything just seems fishy...

like at the bottom where they say "we, the crew, apologize for all loss of income caused by our activity over the years" thats just not thier style not to mention that would mean they believe that what they were doing was illegal when thats the exact oppisite.

theres a few other little werid things about it also. like the little banners for APB and IFPI aren't hyperlinked to their sites?? why wouldnt they be?

and when you go to www . antipiratbyran . com its down to.?

It says
"Svenska Antipiratbyrån är snart tillbaka "

which basically means, we are down at the moment and we will be back with a new site soon.


So does anyone know anything yet or have any ideas? a little light on the subject would be great. I know info should start rolling in pretty soon as theres already a buzz on /.

I saw another pirate bay post about 10 mins ago but now its been deleted?
any mods know why? and if your going to delete this post could you at least give an explanation as to why?

thanx to anyone who has any info. =/

anyone with a half a brain and a pair of eyes that worked could see this coming

kind of a stupid move for the MPAA, they could have used it to collect Ip addresses from the morons who thought they were safe at the piratebay

I think the peeps at pirate bay will at least be astute enough to know that they don't want their webserver and tracker to be logging anything other than dos attacks and errors.

I think most of the other tracker owners are aware of that too.
