Quote:On Monday the file sharing site Pirate Bay went down. The reason is that one of the companies supplying Internet capacity to the site turned off the supply after having been threatened with fines.

According to a decision by the Stockholm District Court to the ISP Black Internet to stop supplying capacity to the Pirate Bay, or risk a penalty of half million crowns.

"We received the decision on penalty just after lunch and turned the capacity just before three approximately. There are laws and rules in society and should be followed. What we like it here and how we act in the future, we have not decided yet, "says Black Internet's CEO Victor Moller to DN.se.

The district court requires the capacity to Pirate Bay strangled until the atmosphere in which U.S. film industry is the Pirate Bay founders are settled in Stockholm District Court.

Black Internet is not the only company that sells capacity to Pirate Bay, but Victor Moller says that it is all that now threatened with the penalty. He assumes that Black Internet is the largest supplier to the Pirate Bay.

"They will be able to redirect and get the capacity from elsewhere, but of course it takes some time," says Victor Moller.

Behind the current lawsuit against the Pirate Bay are the American film companies Columbia, Disney, NBC, Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Universal, Warner and Investment WV.

Over one hundred works in the notification, including the television series "The Simpsons", "Family Guy", "24" and "House", and the films "Pirates of the Caribbean", "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", "Body of "Lies" and "Watchmen".

The Pirate Bay is accessible for me from OpenDNS. The traffic's being rerouted, so it should be available from vanilla DNSes soon.
