- Here, in a continuation of the saga on the recent Big Music inspired raid on Bahnhof, Sweden's most important ISP, is a chronology of events on THE DAY.
It stars RIAA clone Svenska Antipiratbyrån (APB) and Swedish police officers, and is based on official government reports - Case T 8991-05.
Read on >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
At 9:05 (AM) 17 people invaded the Bahnhof main office. This is their story (cheap Blair Witch reference intended).
After informing Bahnhof of the reason for the search and offering it a chance to contact a lawyer, the investigators get down to it. Bahnhof staff let them enter the appropriate floor, floor 2, where the search for servers starts.
Staff are told to stop working and keyboards are flipped upside down.
Around 10:00 am, Bahnhof's lawyers enter the facility and are handed legal documents on the raid, as well information that the search has already started. It's revealed that on floor 2, there are servers owned by Bahnhof and miscellaneous other parties who rent the space.
Floor 2 consisted of two rooms, one inner and one outer.
Four computers are identified as "of interest" because they can't be identified, meaning no one knew what they were being used for.
On floor 10, the office floor, a small area is rented by a corporation that handles billing. Their two computers are left alone. The remaining 22 computers are searched, the search being completed by 3:00 pm.
At 11:00 am and 1:00 pm, APB calls in to see what progress is being made, but the target servers haven't yet been identified.
A while later, at around 3:30 pm, police officers enter floor 2 and leave with the four unidentified servers.
Here's a somewhat modified transaltion of the official summary:
A. The servers the search was started for aren't found B. Software and recordings to be searched aren't found C. Supposed FTP software isn't found D. Data regarding on the software and recordings were uploaded and downloaded aren't found E. Accounting data aren't found F. The contents of Bahnhof's mk@bahnhof.se mailbox are to be investigated. G. No information regarding the servers or IP-addresses is found in the above mailbox. Only the owner's name is found. H. No remote control applications are found I. No information is found pointing to any computer being used to connect to the servers the investigation is targetting
And then the best [our emphasis]:
The investigation could not be finished because the police took the servers that were subjects of the investigation
