Pirate Bay has been shut down by Swedish court

First the sale did apparantly not go through, which made some pirates happy, and now it has been shut down? What a twist. What a drama :)

http://www.thepiratebay.com

lets see what happens when you click the link shall we?

dunno - but from here it still works

Oops! This link appears to be broken.

down for me.

It doesn't seem to load from here!

doesnt work.

jesus..

this is a sad fucking moment honestly.

Yes, there might be some delays in DNS. Or they move out of Sweden to another server. From here, the domain has been blocked for a long time by ISPs.

Safari can?t open the page.
Safari can?t open the page ?http://www.thepiratebay.com/? because the server where this page is located isn?t responding.

http://thepiratebay.org - works like a charm

who wants to take a bet that this will be redirected to a paid tube site within a week

Damn, i didn't finish downloading the "......... :D

it no working for me :Oh crap

not loading from this side of the pond either.

what will I do without homoerotic fix of Tru Blood!? lol

Fuck pirates ......

the great depression 2.0 - i mean great recession - is in some ways going to be a good time for ip as cash starved corporations and tax starved governments come down hard on online piracy in order to survive- which will be easier to do so with all the new post-crash global economic regulations and integrations.

newsbinz

not working here (with or without the www)

The server at www.thepiratebay.com is taking too long to respond.

I know no ? Why nothing ?

doesn't load from Toronto! Nothing like a good kick in the nuts

it is DOT ORG - not .com !

.org

And it's not loading here either. Interesting ;)

It's down over here too... I'm happy. :)

Yesterday I posted about some other stuff that was going on there.

nice :thumbsup

cheers

Yes, but I don't think that is related?

wegcash should buy it.

the .com redirects to the .org and both are down

They say in the article it has been relocated now.

You could expect that. But they flee and leave behind lots of shit. The Swedes lost their privacy and precedence has been made for ISPs in Sweden.

We'll never know probably what the actual influence of Hollywood, press, (foreign) governments, world wide industry of copyright holders, anti-copyright theft organisations, leaning on 3rd parties like hosting, etc. combined was on this..

Loads fine for me still.

I'm thinking that's just dns not finished yet. I can't get to .org or .com (not even sure if it was a .com or not because I purposefully wouldn't go there)

Where is gideongallery? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Time for him to come in here and make a bunch of excuses.

And though it's still early in all of this, this could very well be a turning point that could mean a lot of lost revenue coming back to all of us in the coming months.

Damn why did he not just redirect that traffic to our wonderfull porn sites !
Alternatives people alternatives ! Download junkies out here !

:anon

is that about the company who was to buy pb?

it fell through because the company was full of shit and lied about their financials.

I just realized....whenever I have found my stuff on torrent sites in the past....many times it's just links to the stuff from TBP.

So that means that millions of full scenes just went down on thousands of smaller torrent sites who were mirroring tbp. :)

There might be MUCH more to it than just shutdown, if data is confiscated. They already lost privacy rights in Sweden, so I would not be surprised if pirates are in trouble now. At least the worst ones, like we saw in South Korea last week.

its a good day

Update: As expected, The Pirate Bay site relocated and is back online. A Pirate Bay insider told TorrentFreak that they “got a new connection to the net.” The tracker is still down and is expected to be fully operational tomorrow morning, we were told. Ever since their servers were raided back in 2006 they were prepared for takedown attempts like this.
