According to this article, one of the event organizers for the upcoming winter edition of Dreamhack has been arrested as part of a raid that took down one of the largest private torrent trackers in Sweden.

Earlier this month Swedish police took down Rarat.org, one of the largest private torrent trackers in the country. With help from PayPal the authorities were able to identity and arrest the prime target, who also happens to be an organizer of the upcoming winter edition of Dreamhack.
 
You know, if I were running a torrent site and kept reading about these take downs, I think I might consider closing up shop.
 
In other words, if you're a pirate, you're best off not donating at all. Stay totally free.

That being said, I'm surprised they were using paypal. IIRC usually these sites use a donation system that's much harder to track.
