Swedish police has today taken all the servers of ThePirateBay into custody. Two operators of ThePirateBay are in police custody and cannot be reached.

Police chose to act so despite the fact that the services provided by the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker are fully legal in Sweden. The servers were located in a closed building, to which the police had no legal right to enter, but this fact was ignored. Piratbyrån (the Pirate Bureau), a Swedish pro-pirate lobbying organisation, also had their servers seized, since they where located in the same room.
