The Pirate Bay - Domain Updates & Prison
Renegade:
The Pirate Bay has switched domains from http://thepiratebay.org/ to http://thepiratebay.se/ in order to keep the site domain out of the reach of Washington's claws.
Unnecessary Anarchic CommentWonder if they'll send drones... They seem to have no problem with killing children that way... And Obama seems unrepentant for that as well...

Changing the domain name to the Swedish domain .se puts the address out of the reach of US authorities. Along with the name change the defiant Pirate Bay operators changed the logo from the traditional ship to a closed fist (above) and issued a statement via their official blog:

What binds us all together is a strong belief that what we do is good. That it is something we one day can tell our grandchildren about with pride. People from all over the world confirm this. We read testimonials from people in Syria longing for freedom, thanking us for what we provide. We receive more than 100 visits daily from North Korea and we sure know that they need it. If there's something that will bring peace to this world it is the understanding and appreciation of your fellow man. What better way to do that than with this vast library of culture?
...
But what enrages us to our inner core is that the system, the empire, the governments, are still allowed to try to boss you and us around with one law crazier than the other. Do you think they will stop with SOPA/ACTA/PIPA? They will not. Because you won't stop sharing those files. Because we will not stay down. Because no one can turn back time. Together, we are the iron that hardens with each strike.

Those sentenced are not in Sweden, so whether they go to prison or not is another matter.
While the whole piracy thing is a serious PITA (my software is on The Pirate Bay and it is very painful for me), I would rather deal with piracy than a lack of freedom. That is, I would rather that people have the freedom to pirate my software than not. Money is just money and a tool to do things. Freedom is fundamental, and without it, other things become meaningless. So, hats off to The Pirate Bay for sticking with the fight.

And it's also now: The galaxy's most resilient BitTorrent site!
A step up, (or two), from the previous title ;)
