The Pirate Bay Has Been Bought By A Public Company?
- thristian 17y agoHere's the lowdown, for people morally opposed to clicking on TechCrunch links: http://thepiratebay.org/blog/164 http://thepiratebay.org/blog/164
- froo 17y agoThanks for the link but FYI, the URL is techDIRT, not techCRUNCH. Interesting story nonetheless, I'm curious what TPB's exposure will be now that there's a clear monetary gain.
- ErrantX 17y agoAssuming it's legit... I cant help thinking this is just a sideways move again like in 2006 to avoid the lawyers. That said it is interesting The Video Bay appeared earlier this week - could be financing that?
- WilliamLP 17y agoThis makes me wonder why, instead of hundreds of millions in lawyer fees, the RIAA didn't simply buy them themselves!
- ddemchuk 17y agoI find it really really hard to believe that the largest bittorrent site/tracker in the world sold for just $8 million dollars...maybe I'm just making assumptions but I feel like it should be worth 10 times that much...
