ThePirateBay is down?

Forum index > Blogs 1 2 Next All

Whenever I try to go to thepiratebay, I get a message saying that the connection was interrupted. Yes, other websites do work (obviously) and my internet is fine. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried searching for news that they had been shut down, and I didn't really find anything definitive.

edit: yes, i do know about the trial, and i also read that they said that the ruling shouldn't affect the site. i'm just wondering if there's something else going on

I scanned through the thread, and they didn't mention it either. If you saw something, could you reference it specifically?

The Pirate Bay was a Swedish website that indexes and tracked BitTorrent (.torrent) files.

Wikipedia used past tense, that means The Pirate Bay must not exist anymore.

I read somewhere that piratebay being down did not have anything to do with the trial and some people were working hard to get it back up.

Or some random guy changed it to past tense for whatever reason. There's nothing about it on the discussion page, and the guy who made the change hasn't touched wikipedia since last year.

edit: Another random guy from the Internet says "The ISP for TPB is having technical difficulties. Nothing more, nothing less. It should be back shortly, although can’t say when."

edit2: Apparently IPv6 still works

Pirating = Freedom of education.
I download tons of educational Software and share it with the people who otherwise could not afford it like myself. When things like this happen it just makes me think of how hip backwards our world Truly is. Or I am? But f it if I'm backwards. The pirate taught me how to use HUNDREDS of useful programs. I volunteer teaching others how to use programs at my local library. I think it's about time for a World Wide TEA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Officially this attack on piracy will not be the last. They won't stop holding up progress until they are making millions off of it. Greedy media people couldn't get by without being on M.T.V.'s CRIBS
and walking down the walkway with their 1 million dollar necklaces while crying about WORLD HUNGER

Watch sunscreen / they may of worked hard to get where they are but so have I.

So let us just consider your noble educational purpose. Why do you pirate educational software? Now, careful with that one because if your reply is:

"because otherwise I'd have to pay for it"

this means that there is no open-source or freeware that adequately performs the function of the software you pirate. Consequently when I ask you:

"Why would anyone make software if nobody wants to buy it?"

You can't reply: "well look at the GNU/SourceForge/etc!!" because they've been around for years and if they could really make software that would satisfy you, you would not have bothered with piracy in the first place. This is of course resting on the assumption that given a proprietary program and an equally good free program you would choose the latter. If you wouldn't, recognize that you are in fact supporting the proprietary program and the piracy problem by preventing the free program from reaching a 'critical mass' of users and competing against the proprietary version (like how Opera is as good as Firefox, but you never hear of Opera do you?). Now given this, do you have a different reason for pirating?

There are many musicians, singers, directors, producers, actors, etc, that don't walk around their homes with million dollar necklaces on MTV. In fact, many of them are poorer than you are...

Yet I'm still preeeetty sure you'd still have no qualms about pirating their music or movies.
