I was hoping the article would go into a little* bit more detail about how they manage to be so resilient, to be honest. * where little means "any"

  The Pirate Bay blog continues to detail their saga, but it's more joking than anything else, as of late (see the NK hosting joke). They claimed that they were hosted on redundant cloud providers, but as it turns out, they still have centralized servers that can be taken down. I honestly think that it's a combination of being aware of what the servers are doing (security cameras, backups) and being able to split to a new country when bad things happen is how they've accomplished it thus-far. They usually have 12-48 hour downtime periods, then pop back up in a new country with a new blog post.

    There's (almost) no way of knowing if they are using cloud providers or not, since the real servers are hidden behind a tunnel.
