Swedish police acting for America’s major movie studio cartel have raided the Stockholm offices of Bahnhof, Sweden's largest ISP.

The cartel’s MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) is looking for dirt to use on sites it wants to shut down.

“U.S. copyright protection experts" [read the Big Seven movie studio cartel] have considered Bahnhof a, "haven for high-level Internet piracy for years,” says Reuters.

"This was a very big raid," MPAA mouthpiece John Malcolm told Reuters.

"The material that was seized contained not only evidence of a piracy organization operating in Sweden but of online piracy organizations operating throughout all of Europe.”

Servers seized contained 1,800 digital movie files, 5,000 software application files and 450,000 digital audio files, says Reuters.

Pirate Bay
Having used other national police forces to close various European-based BitTorrent sites, the Big Seven movie studio cartel is hell-bent on adding The Pirate Bay to the list.
We'd heard the site was down but it was still online when we checked a little while ago.
