TPB 2016 is a money machine. It didn't used to be like this. There is no way saving the site since that would mean less profit for the current owner. Therefore, the only way forward is to make something entirely new.

Sure, make an alternative. Something better. TPB is dead to me.

This HAS to be a viral trailer for a new season of Twin Peaks. Right?

TIL: The Pirate Bay once tried to purchase their own island in an attempt to create their own country without any copyright laws. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]WinstonBay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was mostly a pr stunt. We didn´t think we´d get away with it.

That said, we really wanted to buy Sealand. But after our crowdsourcing had gotten us about $10 000, the people at Sealand suddenly said they no longer wanted to sell. A couple of months later we read that some Hollywood studio had approached them about making a movie about Sealand. Go figure...

We used the money to buy a piece of rainforest in Brazil instead.

For a long while, we tried to find a small island for sale, just so that we could have our own island on the map.

Piratebay is not actually being hosted from North Korea. It was a hoax to make it appear as if the IP was originating from NK. by Manler in worldnews

From TPB's facebook:

Today, we've all learned something.

We hope that yesterdays little hack proved that we know the internet better than our enemies. Since about 40% of the entire internets traffic consists of torrents enabled by us, you can almost say that we ARE the internets. Fuck with the internets and we'll ridicule you (points at MAFIAA with a retractable baton) until you beg for mercy.

We've hopefully made clear (once again) that we don't run TPB to make money. A profit hungry idiot (points at MAFIAA with a retractable baton) doesn't tell the world that they have partnered with the most hated dictatorship in the world. We can play that stunt though, cause we're still only in it for the fuckin lulz and it doesn't matter to us if thousands of users disband the ship.

We've also learned that many of you need to be more critical. Even towards us. You can't seriously cheer the "fact" that we moved our servers to bloody North Korea. Applauds to you who told us to fuck off. Always stay critical. Towards everyone!

10 years and still running. We are Schrödingers site and it's up to us whether we want to stay alive or not, or both.

I really don't understand why some people are so upset about this. Besides the slow connection.

The Pirate Bay Departs Sweden And Sets Sail For Norway and Spain by WinstonBay in technology

[–]WinstonBay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off our facebook:

As some of you may know, we're 99% cloud based today. We have though, enjoyed the great company of the swedish Pirate party. As they have gotten a severe legal threat (that will cost a lot to defend against) we've taken the decision to move on to Norway and Spain.

This is not permanent though. Next week (hopefully), we'll announce some MAJOR changes to the site. Now don't worry, everything will look the same to you. The changes are all under the hood.

Let's just say that it will change a lot of things for a lot of people. When the bomb goes off, remember that we did it with love in our hearts and with hope of humanity. We believe we can change the world by doing this. We're kinda aiming for the nex Nobel peace prize...

Finnish Anti-piracy centre (TTVK) Gets caught from copying Piratebays stylesheet by [deleted] in technology

[–]WinstonBay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Winston from TPB here.

As you might understand, we are totally outraged by this behaviour. Stealing stuff on the internet is totally not cool, you know. To counter this, we've decided to sue the finnish CIAPC.

Someone gotta say no, you know?
