Dear Swebits members!

There have been many anxious days ago the district court's ruling was against The Pirate Bay.
Many Swedish trackers have chosen to close down completely by the concern that possibly be taken to court.
Of course, not these thoughts passed Swebits staff passed.

We have shared in the staff determined that due. the current uncertainty in providing a tracker in Sweden have chosen to fr.om today April 20 kl. 19.15, shut down the tracker on Swebits.org.

We have a great understanding of how users feel at this decision and we share that feeling full.
For us, this is a non-profit pet without vinstinstresse. All persons who are and have been involved in staff do this on their own leisure for your users' sake. The future and the future precedential rulings may determine whether torrenttrackers is viable in Sweden or not.

A small consolation in the darkness, however, is that other Swebits will continue as usual.

• The Forum is not affected
• All accounts will remain untouched and no one will be removed due. inactivity.

Swebits will in the near future also to launch some new fun things on the page that has been planned for a long time. What this will return us with.

At the same time, we want to now take this opportunity to ask users not to create a lot of unnecessary wires on the above decision of the Forum, but stick to the news wire: http://swebits.org/forum_trad.php?id=72378. No rules except those previously touched just tracker part is changing.

We hope you respect Staffs decision and that we be seen in the forum!

It's interesting to see all of these trackers closing down. What'll be more interesting is when trackers hosted in other countries realize that if the bastion of filesharing is no longer an Eden, they might want to take preventive measures as well.

I'd predict that this case will lead to more lawsuits and hundreds or thousands of voluntary tracker closings.

As long as TTi and SceneHD don't close, all is well.

PS: don't care about sweDVDR, as they only allow nordic IPs.
