The Swedish government can't find any assets with which to make The Pirate Bay defendants pay up, and its attempt to shut down TPB's ISP lasted only a matter of hours. Meanwhile, the sale of the site appears to be in jeopardy.

Case in point: the Stockholm District Court, which oversaw The Pirate Bay trial earlier this year, has acted on Big Content's motion to shut down the site by today ordering Black Internet, one of The Pirate Bay's ISPs, to stop serving the site. It did so, but after a matter of hours, the site appears to be back. Swedish Pirate Party leader Richard Falkvinge called the court's decision "a f***ing outrage."" }-
