The Pirate Bay returns

The Pirate Bay returns
After managing to fool a lot of file sharers (and some news sites like this one) into believing that it was shutdown, The Pirate Bay, the biggest BitTorrent site and one of Swedens largest sites has re-launched. It promises to be considerably faster and more user friendly utilizing new revolutionary code and layout. "Furthermore, the site has been internationalized and now features support for ten languages in addition to English" the site says.

Users in any of the 11 language communities will automatically get the official language of their country as a preset standard. The site looks somewhat like Google and it has cleaned up the Indexing of search results and it's torrents archive. The Pirate Bay is one of the most used (if not the most used) torrent sites online and is infamous for it's humour.



The Pirate Bay laughs at legal threats instead of bowing to them and even goes that step further and posts them on the site, often including their response to the threat. Read those here. Earlier this week visitors to the site were greeted with a message claiming the site had been raided by Swedish anti-piracy organizations. Later it emerged that it was all just a hoax.

    That is totally killer!

    Site definately looks hotter than it was before, cause it wasn't looking too good.

    But now with the revision and easy navigation, it definately is alot better!

    Keep up the great job PB!

    I Guess they're still working out the kinks... The site was working ok in the morning, but now all that comes up is "We're experiencing some issues with the database. Please try again soon." It has been like this for a while now.

    Their responses to legal threats are a SCREAM! I was laughing so hard I'm sure I disturbed the neighbors!
