There are some interesting news about the situation of the bittorrent-tracker
The Pirate Bay.
It seems to me that this case can turn into a publicity desaster for the MPAA and the swedish anti piracy organizations.
gulli has a longer article in german.
Chaosradio has a long podcast-interview with one of the TPB guys (english), which also turns out some interesting things, for example the question why they took the dna from the arrested activists (for possible copyright violations through the internet, you surely need the dna).
Several organizations are calling for demonstrations today in sweden, as you can read on
Piratbyråns temporary website.
I very much like the actions of those swedish groups, I think more people should act like them. I assume that a vast majority of the people in some way do filesharing of copyrighted content, but just a small minority of them fights for their right to do so.
Update, Saturday 11h: They are back online.
