The Pirate Bay Moves to .AC After Domain Name Seizure

Without warning the nameservers were removed from thepiratebay.sx domain, making it impossible to load the site in places where DNS entries were not cached.
TorrentFreak reached out to The Pirate Bay team who informed us that the .SX registry appears to have seized the domain overnight.
The Pirate Bay website itself remains online, however, as the site’s operators quickly relocated to [URL="http://thepiratebay.ac/"]thepiratebay.ac[/URL], which uses Ascension Island’s ccTLD.
The Pirate Bay, meanwhile, continues to be accessible through the new .AC domain, although only briefly since the ccTLD is UK controlled.
“The AC domain is directly connected to the UK, so it’s just a quick stop there,” a Pirate Bay insider told us. After solving some technical issues the infamous torrent site plans to move to the Peruvian .PE ccTLD.
ThePirateBay.pe will be the fifth domain name for The Pirate Bay in 2013.
The Pirate Bay hopes for a longer stay at the PE domain, but the site’s operators still have a few dozen domain names backed up if required.

Gotta hand it to The Pirate Bay team.
They always have a plan for when shit happens.
I'm laughing at the fact people are trying to stop illegal downloads. It's like trying to stop the universe from existing.
Oh so that's why I couldn't access it last night
If only they would put in as much effort in building a complete, easy, exhaustive legal offer as they do trying to bring TPB down...
Apparently the Dutch are responsible for seizing the URL this time. I thought it would've been America again.
Heh, I didn't even have to change my bookmark.
The AC stands for Assassin's Creed. It's clearly a promotional tie-in for Black Flag.
The Pirate Bay is one of the most resilient websites out there. Read plenty of news about other torrent sites being seized and taken down, but TPB just keeps on trucking.

TPB is something like a hydra. I question whether or not it's truly possible to kill such a thing due to the nature of the internet.
Virgin have already blocked it, the bastards

Once all domain names have been exhausted, we will just connect via IP. There is no way to truly block it.
[QUOTE=geogzm;43133552]Virgin have already blocked it, the bastards[/QUOTE]
The IPs of the servers are the same still, so the block would occur regardless.

Come on, you mean to tell me that people have nothing more important to do than trying to shut down TPB?

Quite literally the ship that never sinks
I'm shocked someone hasn't registered thepiratebay in every obscure country code ever.
I wonder how much money is expended trying to shut them down, must cost a lot of wheel greasing.

Nope, since the island belongs to the British.
[quote]There is no indigenous or permanent population on the island, although around 880 people live there as of 2010: 696 from Saint Helena nicknamed the "Saints"[28] (who are British citizens), 106 British citizens from Great Britain, 70 US citizens and 12 of other nationalities.[29] RAF Ascension Island is made up of 17 staff.
There are five settlements:
Georgetown (the main civilian settlement and capital of the island)
Two Boats (a civilian village, with its school)
Cat Hill (the United States' main base on the island)
Traveller's Hill (Royal Air Force base)
Wideawake Airfield (with the Royal Air Force station)[/quote]

What about the RIAA and the MPAA? Their entire purpose is to take consumers' money to sue them with it.

Why, what is the US going to do if the country doesn't do it? Invade them?
