p2pnet news view Freedom | P2P:- Endless hype faithfully regurgitated by online media notwithstanding, a deal launched by Sweden’s Global Gaming Factory boss Hans Pandeya to buy The Pirate Bay never came close to succeeding.

But apparently, Pandeya is a firm believer in the maxim there’s more than one way to skin a cat, a view shared by ex-TPB spokesman Peter Sunde.

“A new attempt to sell the popular file sharing site The Pirate Bay is underway, as the site`s owners are reportedly discussing bids with four potential buyers,” says The Local, going on »»»

According to the Swedish business newspaper Dagens Industri (DI), Pirate Bay`s ownership foundation, with site founder Peter Sunde playing a leading role, has invited four parties to present bids to purchase the site.

Among the suitors participating in the bidding process is Hans Pandeya, whose beleaguered Global Gaming Factory (GGF) tech firm was recently forced to admit it would most likely not be able to carry out its planned 60 million kronor ($8.5 million) purchase of The Pirate Bay.

But The Pirate Bay`s ownership foundation hasn`t given up hope that it can sell the site, and according to DI`s sources, Pandeya is still in the hunt.

Also  in the lineup is Sweden’s Gamers Gate, specializing in online computer gaming, says the story.
