            &lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;As noted, a police raid in Sweden took down The Pirate Bay yesterday and that's getting lots of attention. In addition, Peter Sunde, the former spokesperson for the site, is getting plenty of attention for a blog post he wrote in which he notes that he's happy it's down and he hopes it stays down forever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lots of news sites are picking up on this, but everyone's focusing on Sunde talking about being happy the site is down and complaining about The Pirate Bay. But that's not new. Sunde's been saying that for years. We quoted him saying the same thing more than four years ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite court-governed blocks and its founders being jailed, The Pirate Bay's traffic has doubled since 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world's most infamous peer-to-peer file-sharing site shared these stats with Torrent Freak, adding that nine percent of all visitors use a proxy to access the site and that the US continues to be its biggest source of traffic (last year it was revealed that the US was responsible for a third of traffic to the site). That's despite the majority of copyright complaints about content shared on The Pirate Bay coming from US record labels and Hollywood studios.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde was arrested in Southern Sweden on Saturday, Reuters reported. Sunde was convicted of aiding copyright infringement in 2009 and was sentenced to a year in prison, plus a fine. That year of jail time was reduced to eight months, but in 2012 Sunde failed to appear at the Swedish prison where he was to be incarcerated, and he has been wanted by Interpol ever since.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gottfrid Svartholm, one of the co-founders of the file-sharing website, The Pirate Bay, has been charged with several cases of fraud by a Swedish prosecutor, who alleges that Svartholm hacked several companies and a bank to illegally transfer money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Svartholm and other founders of The Pirate Bay were found guilty by the Swedish government in 2009 for facilitating the illegal downloading of copyrighted materials. He has served a one-year prison sentence in Sweden since September 2012, and will likely remain in prison while facing these new charges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TPB surprised many when it claimed in a statement released earlier this week that it had been granted “virtual asylum” in the secretive Asian state, not least because of the poor internet infrastructure on offer there and the country’s dubious human rights record.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Pirate Bay reported an anti-piracy organization to Finnish police on Monday for allegedly breaching its copyright.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Center (CIAPC) recently launched a website that imitates the appearance of The Pirate Bay, replacing the pirate ship logo with one featuring a sinking ship, and substituting the usual torrent search links with links to two directories of legal download services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
