  • An Internet service provider that has cut its deliveries to the Pirate Bay file-sharing site on Tuesday reported "major disturbances after sabotage."The disturbances reported by Black Internet AB came the day after the company announced it would immediately stop providing Internet connectivity to Pirate Bay, citing a court order.A message posted Tuesday on the Pirate Bay site said it would be back online in "a few hours" and would "never surrender."Black Internet chief executive Victor Moller told the online edition of Computer Sweden that police were investigating the incident, adding he was not sure it was linked to the decision to stop providing Internet connectivity to Pirate Bay.Stockholm district court on Friday ordered Black Internet to prevent access to copyrighted material specified by film and music companies or risk a fine of 500,000 kronor ($71,000) until the ongoing case against Pirate Bay has been settled.The Pirate Bay Web site has been at the center of controversy about file sharing. In April, the district court sentenced four men to year-long jail terms for operating the Web site, citing it allowed illegal file sharing.The verdict also said the defendants should pay damages of some 30 million kronor for being accessories to copyright infringements by allowing the Web site to be used to swap films and music. The four have appealed their sentences and called for a retrial.
