Topsites confiscated in Swedish ISP swoop
Saturday, March 12, 2005 by dreamkatcha
On Thursday the anti-piracy division of the Swedish Enforcement
Administration, aka Antipiratbyran, raided the Stockholm offices of
Bahnhof.se at the behest of the Swedish Performing Rights Society, which
protects the interests of entertainment big wigs EMI, Sony and
Universal.
Antipiratbyran agents engineered the raids by infiltrating the company
and 'phoning home' with information relating to four of Europe's largest
topsites, three of which have been identified as Artic Connexion
(193.16.97.157), Enigma CD (193.16.97.63) and Infinite Power
(193.16.97.145).
Copyright enforcement officers had been instructed to scour the servers
specifically for four movies and eight music albums. Although they were
unable to locate the target intellectual property, they were not
disappointed; upon inspection, the servers were found to contain 23
terabytes worth of bootleg material. The seizure comprised 5000 software
titles, 1800 movies and 450,000 MP3 music files.
