Is the Pirate Bay Actually Dead?

Your worst fears about The Pirate Bay acquisition might be coming true: Peter Sunde told Torrent Freak that they are indeed closing down TPB's tracker and decentralizing to the point listed torrents won't be hosted on the site anymore.

shhhh, just shhhh. aaaaaaand, get the fuk out.

Blasphemy5412d ago

Uh oh this is bad news for the torrent community. Things can only get worse from here on out.

gamesR4fun5412d ago

that and the real good torrent sites now are al underground closed invite only...

trend really picked up over the past few years since they started shutting down the bigger more open ones...

RememberThe3575412d ago

mininova and bitjunky are better sites IMO. I never really liked Pirate Bay.

Carl14125412d ago

Not good. Goodbye to the best torrent site on the net i guess.

*moves on the Mininova and Demonoid*

Close one thing and thousands of new will be made.

We've seen what the Napster closure has done... After that the P2P programs exploded in numbers and new ways to circumvent the law, so its 'legal'.

There will allways be ways found to get around the current limitations.

How will the world get all the precious intellectual property now?

MiloGarret5412d ago

Probably on any of the 5-6 torrent sites that pop up in the coming months. Or on some of the already established ones.

Evil always finds a way.... -_-

That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.

Alone in the dark is a fun game so that's unfortunate

Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.

Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.
