Wikileaks and PirateBay raided and taken down [View all]

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 it’s attracted a less friendly guest: Sweden’s police force

Viborg told the Swedish news site that the site outages were the result of a technical issue, rather than the police’s seizure of servers. And it’s 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 don’t cooperate with the authorities unless we absolutely have to.”
