I think if they're convicted of something, they'll be ordered to stop, and if they flaunt that, then perhaps there will be more serious consequences. That's usually how it works, right? Also, Egypt is not exactly beyond the reach of US influence. Don't know where would be 'safe'... maybe Russia?

As far as I knew since the '03 (I think 03) raid their servers are located in a different country anyway.

2008, Egypt

re read the blog post... spot the irony? ;)

Fairly certain that the servers are not in the Sainai :)

I don't get it, could you explain please?

Well fairly certain that Tiamo does not live in Egypt.

Also they claim to have Fibre connections to XYZ countries? hmmm. (bearing in mind that that kind of thing leaves a paper trail and there doesnt appear to be one) Smacks a little too much of irony to me :)

Heh, remember those cable breaks in the middle of the Mediterranean? Other sites might suggest it was a CIA or Echelon style operation, but here, I think we can all agree that it was the Pirate Bay ensuring their connectivity by splicing their servers onto it.

Heh I'd forgotten about that.

I almost wish they had managed to buy seaworld too because it would have been amusing to see the Music moguls trying to get at them there :D

It's Sealand, not seaworld.

Oh. Right.

They are saying that: "actually hosted in Asia as well as Africa."!

If they hosted it in Sinai, then "actually" it stills in Asia, not Africa! Sinai is the only part in Egypt that belongs to Asia... I am from Egypt and I know it.
