The Open Bay,
which lets anyone with "minimal knowledge of how the
Internet and websites work" deploy their own version of The Pirate Bay
online, is becoming an open source engine of The Pirate Bay website,
the group told VentureBeat in an email. "The fate of Open Bay is now in
the hands of worldwide community." So far, 372 "copies" of The Pirate
Bay have been created thanks to the project. The torrent database dump,
which combines content from isoHunt, KickassTorrents (via its public
API), and The Old Pirate Bay, has seen 1,256 downloads to date. The
Open Bay has been forked 522 times and starred 1,841 times. As a
result, it is this
week's most popular project on GitHub.
