The Pirate Bay…Hoax?

I still find it very difficult to believe that the Pirate Bay was raided, at least in the sense that they let on. Having any sort of law enforcement come in and just start ripping out servers seems a little far fetched, but I'm just a simple person.

After doing some checking I found out that the day they were raided this year was damn close to the exact same date they played a hoax a year back. But, what of the protests supposedly going on in Sweden in response to the Pirate Bay and other sites being taken down. Are these protestors making a scene because of an elaborate hoax or are they justified in their rantings?

I'm throwing the bullshit flag right now. /me throws bullshit flag.

Let us know what you think by taking the Pirate Bay Poll over at The Grayline.
