"For those unfamiliar with Bittorrent technology, a torrent is conceptually similar to a link. Like a link, a torrent can point to copyrighted material, but is not copyrighted material in itself. So if The Pirate Bay is deemed to be illegal, the same rationale could be used to deem Google, MSN Search, etc. illegal as well (as these search engines also contain links to copyrighted materials). (...) Sweden's Center Party has condemned the raid: 'We want to find out whether pressure from the U.S. government was behind the action," Center Party spokesman Johan Linander said. "I think all of this smells of direct political influence and we want to reach clarity about who really did what.'"
