Pirate Bay thwarts authorities by moving operations to remote volcanic island

"The Pirate Bay, one of the most popular sites for file sharing, once again thwarted authorities trying to shut it down.

After briefly disappearing because its Caribbean domain name, thepiratebay.sx, was seized by authorities, the site popped back into action on thepiratebay.ac, according to The Verge and originally reported by Torrent Freak.

The ?.ac? is the country code, top-level domain of an isolated volcanic island almost 1,000 miles from the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, called Ascension Island.

This is the fourth domain that The Pirate Bay has had to switch to in 2013 to avoid being shut down for violating copyright.

And the game of cat and mouse isn?t over yet.

Sources from The Pirate Bay told Torrent Freak that because Ascension Island has links to the UK, the site won?t be safe for long. It plans to use thepiratebay.ac only temporarily before switching to the Peruvian ?.pe?. And, if that doesn?t last, the infamous torrent site assured Torrent Freak that it has dozens of domain names on reserve."

Did they actually situate themselves inside an inactive volvano ..... like Dr. No?

Since the article was written, it was moved to the Peru TLD.

Wonder if they're hiring, I want a job where I can travel.. :pimp

Gotta give them credit for sticking it to the man. Most would have given up by now or switched sides

If it were up to me I would call in an air strike.

Guess what adult ad network happily sells banners on tpb...

I love +247 !!!

You're a host, what do you care about people who produce? :321GFY

Once a few more free trade agreements go into effect they will have to try .mars

they should buy their own island and move there

what a bunch of pussies running around switching domains .

man up already and stick to .com or leave .

now this makes sense.

stupid self entitled kids think moving to an island will protect them LOL whats stopping warner bros for example from paying 2000$ to some nigerian pirates to visit their asses and burn their shit down to the ground?

shit I hope they move somewhere isolated where they are an easy easy target in international waters with nobody to sue LOL

stupid file sharers LOL

This is what should happen to content pirates!

They didn't move the servers, just the domain name TLD.

They have servers all distributed around the world.

It's also funny that media is also helping them, every time they must change the domain.

People can't find them anymore in .SX extension, but they have enough media BUZZ telling you that they are now located at .PE

Ha Ha.




.

How much does the PB earn per month ?

I'm interested in knowing that too

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm laughing out loud at some of you guys thinking that TPB moved their servers or offices to some remote island just because they changed the domain extension.
