    Now I am not saying I visit Piratebay (cough cough) but it looks like a great place to get TV episodes of programs that you might not be able to watch before because your unwilling to find the ripoff corps such as Sky.

    I didn't think The Pirate Bay was that popular, I think its a good thing to see sites like TPB standing upto the MPAA. I can only see Bit-torrent getting more popular and sites like the TPB getting more attention as the MPAA and anti piracy people keep bringing it up, even Michael Jackson wants to sue TPB now.

    The Pirate Bay has even launched it's own free Uncensored image hosting site and uncensored Blog service with the goal of protecting peoples freedom of speach.

    Dunno how accurate/up-to-date it is now, but there's a list here.
    Unsurprisingly... Google is right at the top... and I'd think it'll be there - even in the most up-to-date lists available too?

    What's the latest news on the bay? Last I heard was the founders were getting sued and they'd been raided, so how are they still on-line?

    They sold it for millions to some people who were going to change it into a more legal site. They haven't changed a thing yet though.
