Submission + - The Pirate Bay to stay in Sweden

Submitted by paulraps on Thursday February 22, 2007 @02:15PM

Really we just want somewhere we can name The Pirate Bay, so we can look on Google Maps and find ourselves there," said Tobias Andersson, who, despite running the most poopular site in Scandinavia, still works as an electrician.
