"These attacks don't come from nowhere. The Pirate Bay raid has provoked feelings in these groups,"Jacoby told TT news agency.On Tuesday, The Pirate Bay and several other torrent websites temporarily disappeared from the internet. The sites were downed in a raid by Swedish police, which seized the servers, computers, and equipment of previously elusive web pirates.
Later of the day, The Pirates Bay back online with the new domain .cr (Costa Rica), but it is as like dead.
As The Pirates Bay have claimed that Pirate Bay is running on 21 “raid-proof” virtual machines that meant if authorities raided one location the service would be OK. In this situation, it appears they weren’t quite raid-proof after all.
