Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
MMO-Champion
So 2 months after being raided, and after three of the founders got prison sentences, the Pirate Bay is back online. It seems they werent kidding about being a hydra. I wonder if police are going to finally just give up, or if another raid is already getting ready.

Lazy so using google translate.
The trackers seems like crap too, lots of shit I couldnt find.I wish I had better news. The launch takes place February 1st is not ours. It was a dickhead decided to remove The Pirate Bay crew out of the picture. He believes that a site can be managed without staff while keeping track of the copies, internal affairs and so on, saying "WTC-SWE", which will be one of the senior administrators, to TorrentFreak.
Well the sites own tracker is actually not online yet so that explains a bit for the moment.Last edited by Bakis; 2015-01-31 at 10:49 PM.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Ohh, interesting. I didn't see that on the article I read. Seems like the old pirate bay crew who managed to not get arrested will be starting a different site. Are these sites really that lucrative, or do they honestly believe the political agenda they sometimes go on about?

I realize they make money, but considering the amount of time in prison the three arrested folks got I'm just curious how much it actually is. They aren't exactly anonymous people running it. Originally Posted by hellhamster

According to the the police investigation back in 2008 they made 2 million USD per year on ads I guess they make a hell of a lot more now

Maybe it is. I guess it kind of felt different for me becuse in my social environment, more and more people seem to have gravitated away from it and actually buy their stuff. Originally Posted by Zvinny

Depends on where the adds company run its operations from. Might be some caribean island whatever, got no idea. Originally Posted by Tierbook

Brands use the syndication networks like a wholesaler, and so may not be clear what sites their advert will eventually appear on.

The shift you feel are most likely due to streaming services and that is a good thing but as long as they within their deals on what to show demand exclusivity there will always be a need to download the stuff your provider wont stream cos of the above reason. Originally Posted by Pull My Finger

Who cares for Pirate Bay? There are so many other sites for torrents running 24/7.
