The pirate of North Sea II - the return of the Bay

It's all about PirateBay, the notrious Bittorrent tracker server originally based in Sweeden. Original design of Bittorrent protocol differentiate index web server with tracker, but in real life, most server incoperate those two, into big Bittorrent trackers server. Supernova.org was one of these first tracker, which then got shut down because of faciliating illegal trading of copyrighted material. There is currently no public bittorrent tracker outside of the US.
PriateBay, as the name, was started by a group of anti-copyright activist/technicals in Sweeden. It is still the world's largest tracker with millions of users. In late May 2006, the sever room which accommodated about 35-100 servers was raided, and the owners was arrested for question. It was believed/rumor that the raid was result of US's pressure on the Swedish goverment; therefore it got negative reaction from the public, especially from students (not suprising) and activist. 3 day laters, the service was back online, as its backup in Holland was working just fine. However, it struggled a while before offering full services again.
6 months on, the entertainment industry keeps finding the way to shut down the site permantly. It was successfull in US, but appears very doubtful within Europe. In the mean time, it is reported that the site has grown 30% of its population, more diverse and of course more illegal copyrighted material. It even publishes more obviously illegal, provocative content, such as this advertisement for TV-shows downloading feature:
"We know you like TV so we added a nice TV-section on the site! You can reach it by clicking here. The first tv-page shows the 50 most popular shows on the site at any moment. If you want to browse through the rest of them, just click 'Show all series.'"
The king has return, the RIAA and MPAA are looking over quitely, from accross the pond.
