Blimey. April was just shy of 3 months ago too.

Talk about rewarding the file sharing industry, that must be a good £500,000+ to each of the 4 behind TPB, combine that with the influx of 'customers' to the likes of mininova.org etc aswell!

I'm thinking that another new bittorent site will take its place when piratebay is ruined....

Yep, it's not really going to achieve anything in the long term for anybody.

Except GGFX who will be £4.7m short.

I am proud to say that I am a pirate. For personal use that is. Software are simply too expensive and are usually just polished version of same thing.

That's like the most risky 'investment' one could make. I am surprised that anyone would do it!

I'm amazed a legit company would take over a site like that. How a torrent site will work in the future when the copyright owners can get compo I don't know.

This can only be bad news for everyone involved.

[Singh400]

Meh, they sold out. Doesn't matter. Another one will pop up. Just like when Suprnova died.

[Haiku32]

There's still demonoid, which imo is no where near as good as tpb.
