For the last couple of days there were stories of
The Pirate Bay, the
worlds largest bittorrent tracker, being
taken offline by swedish authorities while they were being investigated for
copyright infringement. Even the
MPAA
released a statement praising the police raids on TPB's hosting provider as
proof that internet pirates can't hide anywhere. However, this bewilderment
would prove temporary as
The Pirate Bay is once again online. True to its defiant nature, The Pirate
Bay is again indexing many of the same .torrent files that made it wildly
popular. News of The Pirate Bay's resurrection comes as little surprise.
It appears
The Pirate Bay has made good on its promise, as it has reestablished itself
in the Netherlands. Currently, its indexing capabilities are somewhat reduced
from its former self, however should improve once news spreads of its
resurrection.
In related news,
here's a video from the pirate bay raid. The intro text says that this copy can't be used as evidence. Why are the police covering the cameras one by one? Did anyone notice the one who was picking his nose? ;)
