Police in 13 European countries have raided dozens of locations in an attempt to crush illegal file-sharing rings that distribute pirated movies and TV shows. A total of 48 servers were shut down, according to the BBC. Seven locations were raided in Sweden, including a university and the ISP believed to host WikiLeaks and the Pirate Bay, though authorities say the raids had nothing to do with either site.
Five arrests were made in Belgium where investigators say the suspects—who face charges including computer fraud and membership of a criminal organization—weren't trying to make money from piracy. "They are between 25 and 30 years old and they knew what they were doing," a police spokesman told the AP. "They have the notion that all has to be free." (More piracy stories.)
