The leaked email was sent to the IFPI by Peter Danowsky, a Swedish lawyer who works for the anti-piracy organization in question. At the moment it’s still not clear whether they actually made this request or not.
In the email we read that the IFPI plans to use the information to backup some of their claims against The Pirate Bay. However, if the prosecutor decides to share this sensitive information it might also compromise the entire case.
The Pirate Bay staff are not amused by this news and hope that the prosecutor will make the right decision. Fry (aka Brokep) writes on the TPB blog: “IFPI and the companies they represent are of course not respecting the privacy and laws in Sweden, that’s no news. Hopefully the prosecutor will protect the peoples rights but it would be the first time that he would do anything correctly in the case.”
At this point it is doubtful if the Swedish police have any evidence against The Pirate Bay. Earlier this month the prosecutor once again extended the custody of some of the servers they took during the raid in May 2006.
The police and prosecutor HÃ¥kan Roswall seem to be desperately trying to find something they can use against the Pirate Bay crew, but as we reported before, they have been unsuccessful in all their previous attempts.
Peter Danowsky was contacted to comment but he hasn’t replied so far.
