What I find as funny in this, is that this stinks of US involvement, which is the very country, my country, that said cannabis ought to be illegal to start with. Now, several of the US states have told Uncle Sam to go get smoked, and those states are showing their state authority over the fed. The US is the worst country for saying any drug, natural or not, is illegal, especially if it can cause any euphoric effect. They tried it with alcohol, and the people rebelled, which created much of the organized crime that is here, now. It took a constitutional amendment to create prohibition, and another to douche it down the drain. All that, over a bunch of prudish old bible-thumping women, who didn't like the fact, that their husbands had to get tanked, in order to find them attractive. Remember the Church Lady on SNL? That actually is what happened.
After what the US forced Sweden to do, with those running certain websites, it is as plain as the nose on ones face, as to who is stirring the pot. All pun intended. The Netherlands and Sweden need to tell the US, Brits, and Germans to go drown in the sea.

The torrent website, Pirate Bay, was there at one time under another ISP, and still exists, but I don't know what ISP carries them now. The US tried to bully them over copyright infringement, and they finally did somewhat succeed, but not after a lengthy court battle. It was the ISPs, who were hosting Pirate Bay that they went after.
"Several other torrent related sites including EZTV, Zoink, Torrage and the Istole tracker were also shut down in addition to The Pirate Bay's forum Suprbay.org.
"On 19 May 2015, the .se domain of The Pirate Bay was ordered to be seized following a ruling by a Swedish court.[36][37] The site reacted by adding six new domains in its place.[38][39] The judgment was appealed on 26 May 2015.[40] On 12 May 2016 the appeal was struck down and the Court ruled the domains be turned over to the Swedish state.[41][42] The site returned to using its original .org domain in May 2016."
