More than a month has passed since The Pirate Bay came back to the online community, but not all is smooth sailing as the infamous torrent site continues to be plagued with problems. 

The problems began a few days ago, as some users were being redirected to another user's account after logging in. This prompted some torrent uploaders to fear that their accounts were hacked, but the redirection only landed on user profiles. Sometime later though, another problem cropped up, this one directly affecting the upload traffic of the site. Most uploaders encountered a "500 Internal Server Error" and the site blocked new contents from being uploaded.

The upload problems seem to have been fixed as of March 3. 

Meanwhile, Swedish ISP Bredbandsbolaget categorically refuses to block The Pirate Bay, insisting that customers have the right to communicate freely online. This is in response to the action filed last year by some content companies, notably Universal Music, Warner, Sony Music, Nordisk Film, and the Swedish Film Industry. The suit was filed at the Stockholm District Course, challenging Bredbandsbolaget to block its subscribers from the torrent site and stop being part of the site's "piracy machine." 

Last month, representatives from both sides met to see if they could reach an agreement on the matter. However, the Swedish Internet service provider is adamant about protecting its customers' rights and privileges. 

Speaking for the company, Commercial Director Mats Lundquist says, "It is an important principle that Internet providers of Internet infrastructure shall not be held responsible for the content that is transported over the Internet. In the same way that the Post should not meddle in what people write in the letter or where people send letters." 

With no settlement being seen in the future, a trial has been set on October 23, in which media says the outcome could be a precedent for this "historic trial."
