And I think it’s worth noting a psuedo-related and interesting story here as well.
Anyone familiar with torrent sites will know about thepiratebay. This is a Swedish site, widely recognized as one of the world leaders in torrent exchange.
Bowing to pressure from the US (IMO), the Swedish police raided the ISP and took all the servers belonging to TPB, to supposedly collect evidence of copyright enfringement, but it is commonly thought, to collect user info as well.
They didn’t count on the level of ire in the users though. Someone hit the Swedish police with a DNS attack.
I think this is a small taste of what is to come if the current path is not altered.
