I found this interesting. Wonder if there are photo thieves on here as well? More likely a warez and music site I think.

Giant server seized in raid on file-sharing site

Swedish police find computer with 65 terabytes of files

From AP - updated 9:00 a.m. ET, Sat., March. 7, 2009

STOCKHOLM - Police have made a major crackdown on illegal file-sharing by seizing a giant computer server during an apartment raid in a Stockholm suburb, an official said Saturday.

Henrik Ponten, a spokesman at the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau, said the server contained about 65 terabytes of files, corresponding to around 16,000 full-length movies.

"The size of the works are gigantic," he said, noting it was one of the biggest pirate server confiscations ever in Sweden.

Police raided the apartment in Brandbergen, in southern Stockholm, in the beginning of February after the anti-piracy bureau filed a report about it, he said.

No point in stealing microstock anymore.  It almost for free anyway...

Also along the same lines, have you been following The Pirate Bay court sessions...

The trial has been in Sweden and the verdict is coming soon weather the owners of the pirate bay will be convicted or not.
