A Swedish company owned by the founders of controversial torrent tracker site The Pirate Bay is hosting a site that defends paedophilia.

PRQ, co-owned and operated by Fredrik Neij and Gottfried Svartholm Warg, has refused to take the web page down, citing the principle of freedom of speech.

The company says it doesn't share the ideas of the owners of the site, but defended the decision to host it, which claims: "When it comes to fear of paedophiles most things are set to one side."

The controversial site, which was previously hosted by a Danish company, also plans to make space available for individual paedophiles' personal websites.

Svartholm Warg told Stockholm morning daily Dagens Nyheter that he disagrees strongly with the content in question, but prefers an open debate. "They have a right to say this."

PRQ is the same company that hosts The Pirate Bay. When Stockholm police raided its offices last year almost every server was seized. Ten companies which were also hosted by PRQ immediately demanded compensation from the Chancellor of Justice.

Thought you guys might be interested because it is both a social issue, and a lot of people here are interested in BT.

Shitty morals, shitty tracker.

Coincidence? I think not!

Remember a few months ago when we had all those threads about Norway?

Next is going to be Denmark. I'm calling it.

I didn't start this because it was Swedish... I chose it because it might be of interest to some people.


When does free speech become too much?

WTF dude. When did I say, "Merrykissmass2u started this cuz he's on a Sweden kick"? A month of two back there were like 3 or 4 threads about Norway started within a day apart. I was referencing back to that. It wasn't a joke directed to or about you. My lil universe revolves around other things, ya know.
