Author: enigmax Category: Hot Off The Press Torrent Sites Black Internet the pirate bay Publish Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:16:04 +0000 Yesterday, Stockholm's district court took action to have The Pirate Bay disconnected from the Internet. The court ordered the site's bandwidth supplier, Black Internet, to disconnect TPB or face penalties of 500,000 kronor ($70,600). The ISP immediately complied, saying that it had no choice but to uphold the law. Today, Black Internet have some serious problems of their own. According to CEO Victor Möller, his company's infrastructure has been sabotaged and is suffering substantial damages. At the time of writing, Black Internet customers are still experiencing serious disruption to their Internet services.

One customer, One Call Support, said that the cost implications for them run to "millions of Swedish kronor." Möller said the company is working with technicians and the police to find out what has happened. One thing, he says, is certain - the attack was deliberate. More on this breaking news as we get it.
