In an official letter to the Swedish Minister of Justice Beatrice Ask, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has asked for “assistance” from the Swedish government with preventing video clips from the Olympics in Beijing to be shared on The Pirate Bay. The Pirate Bay, however, does not plan to take anything down, and renamed their tracker to The Beijing Bay.

Hell, man.
This is the age of the internet.

Nice moves from the Pirate Bay :biggrin:
Or should I rather say Beijing Bay? :klatsch_3:

I'm just glad that there are still some guys out there who resist the powerful China and the IOC.

Now that we're talking about China. It is beginning to be a real facade over there with the olympics.

First its the singing child fiasco; then more news comes out re: all the 'nice' covers over 'not so nice' city scenery like old buildings that are not scenic to look at; then more news that the chinese police removing all the homeless people and pple known to be on drugs; then more news about......


sorry. Shouldn't be talking about china. Its an IOC thread. Sorry. My bad. :(

But you're right about this being an IOC thread ;)
