What is dead may never die - IsoHunt unofficially resurrects The Pirate Bay - Polidicks

[quote] [img]http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/the_old_pirate_bay-780x424.png[/img] [b]Torrent site isoHunt appears to have unofficially resurrected The Pirate Bay at oldpiratebay.org.[/b] At first glance, The Old Pirate Bay seems to be just a commemorative site for The Pirate Bay, which went down this week after police raided its data center in Sweden. Upon further inspection, however, it turns out the site is serving new content. Various mirror sites of The Pirate Bay have sprung up since the site’s disappearance, but this one is different. Some alternatives simply provide a copy of The Pirate Bay with no new content (many proxy sites have been doing this for years). Others, like thepiratebay.cr, go further and even provide fake content as if it was new and even attempt to charge users. The Old Pirate Bay, on the other hand, doesn’t claim to be a resurrection of the site, even though based on searches we conducted and files we tested, that’s exactly what it has managed to achieve. This is much more than just a working archive of The Pirate Bay; it has a functioning search engine, all the old listings, and working magnet links. New content is being readily uploaded and downloaded.[/quote] [url]http://venturebeat.com/2014/12/12/isohunt-unofficially-resurrects-the-pirate-bay/[/url]

Wait IsoHunt is back? Under new management I guess?

[QUOTE=patq911;46699798]Wait IsoHunt is back? Under new management I guess?[/QUOTE] Yes, the people behind isoHunt.to are not affiliated with the original crew.

Thanks iso

We should place bets on how long it remains up.

Piracy isn't really something you could stop, is it? if you were to take down its main source another would just pop up, all incredibly hard to take down

To be fair, it's not like somebody can't just take the name and concept of the Pirate Bay and create a whole new website. I mean, what are the creators going to do, sue them for copying creative property? :v:

So not only is it back again but it's also affiliated with my other favorite tracker.

Welcome back sweet prince. May my linux destros forever be available

THE LEGEND NEVER DIES

get all the flacs :yarr:

The captain may be different, but the ship is patched up and sailing again.

Can't wait until they put their servers on the moon. It will then finally be safe, until the spacecops arrive. (or put their servers in North Korea. Basically the same thing.)

I'd been following Isohunt for years but didn't they fall prey to the feds some time ago? Heard it was a honeypot now. Or was that demonoid hmm.

It no longer needs a captain.

[QUOTE=Prollgurke;46700868]get all the flacs :yarr:[/QUOTE] of public domain music!

What I find hillarious is that isohunt was taken down for a while, so now the dad raised the dead

Hoping the takedown effort ends up like the US's incursion into Cuba PIRATE BAY OF PIGS

god the UI is so much better than the original
