http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/10/01/wikileaks-and-pirate-bay-web-host-prq-raided-by-swedish-police/The Stockholm-based web host PeRiQuito AB, or PRQ, has long attracted some of the most controversial sites on the Internet. Now its attracted a less friendly guest: Swedens police force
Viborg told the Swedish news site that the site outages were the result of a technical issue, rather than the polices seizure of servers. And its not yet clear exactly whose servers the police seized
Even though I loathe what they say, I defend them, Viborg told me when we spoke last August, regarding his most controversial clients like Pedophile.se and NAMBLA. We dont cooperate with the authorities unless we absolutely have to.

But they will cooperate with Pedophile.se and NAMBLA because...well, just because.
"Viborg has told me that the company has a policy of no-questions-asked service for many of its customers, even accepting cash payments up front to avoid requiring any bank payment details that might identify its server rooms inhabitants. Generally we dont know who our customers are, Viborg said. By Swedish law, were not required to."
