Police have found 20 illegal servers that might have served file-sharing site The Pirate Bay on the premises of the Silesian University of Technology.

The raid was part of a larger operation carried out simultaneously in 14 countries, in which officers entered those firms, higher education facilities and private homes where people suspected of piracy live and work. The 20 illegal servers found at the university were hidden in special rooms.

The police confiscated 120 hard disks containing over 100 terabytes of data. According to the police, they served the warez site The Scene, which in turn was used by The Pirate Bay.
