alt Hacker NewsThe pirate bay raid is a good example of the kind of soft power the US has lost with their recent behavior. Hard to imagine Stockholm police being as receptive nowadays.

American troops have been granted full immunity against Swedish law when they are in Sweden, according to the most recent military treaties. I don't know if you consider such a deal to be soft power or hard power. But it is a lot more than any server room raid.

Yes! thank fuck!
Paradoxically, it's also a good example of the kind of soft power the US still has: we're all watching their movies.
