Ouch! ThePirateBay raided by authorities
This post was published 3 years 9 months 21 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.Bittorrent users can agree that ThePirateBay was one of the best resources for acquiring hard to find files (class notes, lectures, etc.). Right? Apparently the in your face law defying antics of ThePirateBay have seen the darkness at the end of the tunnel.
The seizure of ThePirateBay.org’s entire server farm will guarantee this BitTorrent tracker will remain offline until the police complete their investigation. The uncertainty on the part of the police may stem from the fact ThePirateBay.org’s servers only host .torrent files, not actual copyrighted material. As a tracker, ThePirateBay.org’s function is to index .torrent files and to direct BitTorrent traffic and maintain the swarm (uploads and downloads.) The downloaded .torrent file contains all the necessary information to locate and download the queried file. The legality of indirectly linking to copyrighted material has yet to be tested by Swedish courts.
Not that I participate in such activities, but Mininova has always been a great resource.

The police is making some activities in Bulgaria also they are trying to hit the biggest torent site in Bulgaria and aresting people from there i think this is a job of the software/games/movies/music industry they are coming together to fight pirasy, but they will never susses! the pirasy its like the drugs they will never end!
Does anyone really use torrents for educational purposes? If that’s true, I should try it out during grad school.. I hardly ever used piratebay. Mininova and torrentspy are plenty for most things I need..
I used the torrent network for educational purposes. I had to find a certain application in order to complete my paper. Does that count? ;)
Up and runing folks – fuck the MPAA – we are coming back :)
