    The Pirate Bay Shutting Down

    Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 6:40 PM

    To all my fellow Pirates out there... The pirate bay is going to be shutting down/going paid in August, due to ongoing legal issues and a 3.7 mil settlement.

    check out this link for details http://thepiratebay.org/blog

    It is truly a sad day for progressive thought. There will come a time when add supported downloads will allow for free music/movies/applications for everyone. The Pirate Bay has been essential in crossing the lines and forcing the issues that will change the scope of media sales. The last 5 years have been great with The Pirate Bay. They have built there single server operation into a multi-national hub for all those who refuse to remain stuck in the past. The Pirate Bay is the 106th most popular website in the world. It was a groundbreaking endeavor that progressed the changing of media distribution far beyond what anyone expected.

    It will be missed.

    This however should not deter anyone from continuing to find ways to cloud the lines and force the issues. Continue sharing files with your friends, I saw a post a while ago about sharing boots and other 3eb content. Everyone needs to step up and continue sharing. The Pirate Bay may be getting shut down, but it was only a hub , they may have closed the Bay, but the Pirates sail on !!!

    Long live the Pirates!
