Warez Servers Seized, Owners Take Them Back

Today must be "turnabout-is-fair-play day." First the PS3 banning / unbanning story and now we have warez servers being seized and then seized back by the pirates? Pass the popcorn, this stuff is getting good.

Last month, Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN targeted one of the Internet’s largest warez piracy topsites. The site, known as Swan, was taken down by hosting provider WorldStream and without judicial process BREIN seized its servers. Now the owners of the servers have retaliated by seizing them back and, in a delicious twist, may sue BREIN for breach of privacy and property rights.
