Piratebay - - - Gone?

[Capo Dei Capi]

crazy, my uncle always went there to download movies. I hear they are locking down on online stuff bigtime

Not really, only certain countries are. TPB should have realized back in 2009 that Sweden is not a good place to be located for running such an operation.

Must have been a leak at Headquarters....
PB might be done (for awhile)
Demonoid made it back...and they were the LARGEST.
But, by the time they make it back, someone else has taken over #1.

I wonder how much $ they were making from those popups anyway ?

Huge props to the TPB guys whatever happens from now on. One of the most influential figures to win the war, A battle lost doesn't mean anything.

Besides, kickass.to and rutracker.org and even demonoid have been way better for years now. I actually rarely managed to find anything on piratebay ...

What "war" is going on? Until people lobby elected officials to change copyright laws to make it not a crime sites like TPB are going to continue to be shut down. It doesn't even require the MPAA or RIAA to do anything, just a single complaint from even a nobody would suffice.

The only countries that didn't sign the Berne Convention are not places where one can get somewhat decent internet connection to the outside world for a major site like TPB. And if one country were to cancel the Berne convention recognition they would most likely be sanctioned very fast.
