PRQ Raided By Police

[DaringHost]

Police have raided the Swedish hosting company PRQ today, possibly looking for servers connected to copyright infringement. PRQ was founded by Pirate Bay co-founders Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik Neij and is known to host or route many file-sharing sites. The target of the raid has not been confirmed by the authorities, but The Pirate Bay team informs TorrentFreak that they are no longer using PRQ’s services.

Looks like all sites hosted on the 80.88./19 subnet were affected. Anyone from WJ affected by the raid? What's your thoughts on the raid?

Not really, this is quoted from TF.

The PRQ raid coincided with downtime at The Pirate Bay but TorrentFreak is informed that this is unrelated. The Pirate Bay says it’s not using PRQ’s services and attributes the downtime to a power failure.

Besides TPB works just fine here.
