Nope, the police have probably asked the prosecutor and if he says it's ok
then they do the bust and then everyone have their say in a court.
That's how it works here.

 MvdV>>> Obviously. PB would be off-line by now if there was any proof against
 MvdV>>> them.

 BF>> I'm not so sure about that either

Here you contradict yourself.
Why would the police give PB a chance to remove the illegal stuff if all they
want
is to shut it down?

 BF>> having in mind what happend last year. They don't want to do the same
 BF>> misstake again I guess.

 MvdV> If it was indeed the RIAA lobby, I think they have already made it....

but this time it was a new misstake, by going out in advance so they had the
time to remove what could have been illegal.

 BF>>>> so whos behind this isn't clear right now. We'll have to wait until
 BF>>>> next week to see what happends.

 MvdV>>> Ask yourself who stands to gain by the closing down of PB.

 MvdV> And also ask yourself who stands to gain by the pubkicity...

Perhaps it wasn't ment to wind up on the news.

 BF>> Naturally but what if they find child porn on the servers......?

 MvdV> Then surely when it comes to court someone will ask why the alleged
 MvdV> perpetrators were given a week's notice before the police secured the
 MvdV> evidence...

 BF>> As I said, we'll have to wait til next week before jumping to
 BF>> conclusions.

 MvdV> So jumping to conclusions will be all right next week? ;-)

Hopefully more facts have been revealed by then so we don't have to do any
jumping at all.

Soon the F1 at Silverstone starts so.....and now I hear that there have been
espionage and sabotage between McLaren and Ferrari and even Honda seems
to be in it.
Lewis Hamilton in pole possition. What a guy that is.
