“It's quite unusual, buying an illegal site. Our system is legal, we just don't want to tell anyone how this works [yet],” Hans Pandeya, chief executive officer of Global Gaming Factory X AB, said in an interview yesterday.

Mr. Pandeya spoke after a Stockholm court order compelled one of Pirate Bay's main Internet service providers to pull the plug on the Swedish-based site for facilitating illegal file sharing.

Also yesterday, Swedish authorities said they are investigating potential irregularities in Global Gaming's stock trading in the days leading up to the June 22 announcement of Pirate Bay's sale for 60 million kronor (about $9-million).

Quite the soap opera!
