The Swedish Pirate Party has announced that it will be moving the servers of the Pirate Bay into the Swedish Parliament, or Riksdag, if the site’s operators – as the Pirate Party is not affiliated with the Pirate Bay – agree to this and if they win a place in the Riksdag when the elections happen on September 19.
AOL has announced that it will be laying off 1,200 employees as it failed to meet its target of 2,300 – or a third of total employees in the company – in reducing its workforce, as many refused to accept buyouts. According to spokeswoman Tricia Primrose, only 1,100 volunteered to leave the company. The cuts affect both its US and European operations; and layoffs are set to start today, though most will occur on Wednesday.
