I wouldn’t worry, I think it is just their server is overloaded or some other cause. This has happened numerous times in the past month as seeledrs popularity has ballooned. Maybe they need more bandwidth/better servers and/or cannot afford it.
It usually comes back online though.

May the force be with you……

I suspect the Pirate Bay will be up an running again very soon – I also suspect ALL the torrents will be moved to other trackers. I also suspect that MOST of the copyright material “stolen” via BitTorrent trackers would not have been bought by the so called “offenders” anyway, I suggest very few so they do not represent a loss of sales to the over greedy industries anyway. Secondly: what is the legal standing of people downloading music from torrent sites for which they already hold either a an old fashioned vynil or broken CD copy? (I believe this entitles the owner to make as many copies for his/her own use in perpeuity) and do the punishments for this include life in prison or dinner with Robert Mugabe? Also what evidence do the authorities have that people haven’t just downloaded a file to try – then bought a pukka copy afterwards? Next: what is the position of people who pay to download music – then accidently wipe it or lose their MP3 players, crash their hard disc, etc. Does the music industry expect them to buy the material again and if so is this not blatant racatering on their behalf? Finally – what is the legal position on people recording off a DAB or DVB transmission for later viewing/listening via their PC’s, since recording a television programme onto VHS tape is not an infringement of copyright or nearly everybody in the entire world would have to be taken to court, including the gloating peeps from MPAA – how ironinc would that be!!!

Google is just indexing the torrent files where the pirate bay is hosting them. Theres a big difference there. Both are legal in Sweden I thought though.

Why don’t people and politicians the world over wake up to the fact entertainment cartels, Mickey Mouse, are able to commandeer entire governments and their police forces. This is outrageous and flies in the face of anyone claiming their country is sovereign.

Funny how they’re not raiding or suing Google:

No hoax, several swedish newspapers are quoting police and antipiracy representatives.

The Pirate Bay are not breaking any laws at this moment, so this will get interesting.
