Do the Swedish authorities particularly care if a group of people who they consider to be criminals and pirates don't like them? I doubt it.
- kaens 18y agoYou'd think they would give a little more weight to the group, considering that the users of TPB are a good chunk of the internet-using population of the world.
- mixmax 18y agoThey are politicians, and politicians are at the mercy of their voters which happen to consist of a large chunk of filesharers. When the Pirate Bay's servers were raided a few years ago it turned into a political scandal, and (if I remember correctly) a minister was fired. Also, The Pirate Party was very close to getting elected into parlaiment at the last election in Sweden. If I was a Swedish politician or authority I would definitely care.
