Pirate Bay Won't Rest in Peace

Merely hours after a Swedish court ordered to have The Pirate Bay taken down, the site's bandwidth supplier is claiming it has been sabotaged, the TorrentFreak blog reports.

As the peer-to-peer community was preparing to put to rest their favorite file sharing site The Pirate Bay, their vigil has been disturbed. Black Internet, the ISP that supplied much of the site's bandwidth, says it has been sabotaged.

Faced with a $70,000 fine, Black Internet complied with the Swedish court's decision yesterday and has cut off The Pirate Bay. But a few hours later, TorrentFreak is reporting a mysterious "intentional" attack on Black Internet, which caused substantial damage.

Black Internet has called in experts and the police, as its infrastructure is said to be suffering substantial damages and its customers experiencing "serious disruption" to their Internet service, according to TorrentFreak. The attack is said to have been deliberate.
