   IMHO this is what entrepreneurship is all about. You identify a need and then try to satisfy it... And Arrington had a good idea and he obviously managed to execute (probably) equally well... I just have to say, I'm impressed!

    The PirateBay is somewhat known for announcing new stuff which they don't do afterwards. So until I see the service I don't believe it... see e.g. http://thepiratebay.org/blog/49 , http://thepiratebay.org/blog/69
