Earlier today (9 Dec), the Pirate Bay servers became unresponsive worldwide. The cause was later found to be a police raid by the Stockolm IP enforcement division. Personally and despite this being a first for TPB (other downtimes were due to hardware failures) I doubt that it'll last. This also seems to be the general consensus among the community. I would imagine that there is a regularly updated backup of the site for mirroring just for this situation.

[Ed's Note: As at 10 Dec 0900 UTC the site was still down.]

    If saying it before TPB was raided still makes it post hoc, what, your mind, would qualify as a priori then?

    > Oh and if he did say this why not link it so I can read what he said in full?

    TFA contains a link to an article from 2013 where 4 other Piratbyrån founders all said basically the same thing. His opinion is clearly neither new nor unique.
