The Pirate Bay Taken Offline
- jacquesm 17y agoSo much for all those claims that they could not take tpb offline even if they wanted to. What I don't get about the legal angle of the case is that they had their re-trial refused, but doesn't that give them the chance to do a normal appeal anyway ?
- unalone 17y agoUpdate: As expected, The Pirate Bay site relocated and is back online (DNS still has to update for some people). A Pirate Bay insider told TorrentFreak that they “got a new connection to the net.” The tracker is still down and is expected to be fully operational tomorrow morning, we were told. Ever since their servers were raided back in 2006 they were prepared for takedown attempts like this. The Pirate Bay has gone offline before. The question is always how long it stays offline.
- jacquesm 17y agoInteresting... if they can keep going under this pressure I'll be most impressed.
- unalone 17y agoYou know they survived a raid back in 2006, right? When I was in high school they were my heroes for making being a computer geek so edgy.
- jacquesm 17y agoYes, but this time it is different. With a pretty solid judgement in hand *aa gets to go after any provider in the western hemisphere that hosts them. So I really wonder how they'll solve that.
- mjgoins 17y agoSo now the movie industry's profits should skyrocket right? Better start buying that stock before all those suburban teenagers start buying up Blu Ray discs and going to the movies every night.
