Today the shocking news reached the world... Pirate bay is switching owner and probably will be destroyed with that.. did money and greed destroy the piratebay ? disscuss here

"TPB might change owner"

Yes, it's true.

News reached the press today in Sweden - The Pirate Bay might get aquired by Global Gaming Factory X AB.

A lot of people are worried. We're not and you shouldn't be either!

TPB is being sold for a great bit underneath it's value if the money would be the interesting part. It's not. The interesting thing is that the right people with the right attitude and possibilities keep running the site.
As all of you know, there's not been much news on the site for the past two-three years. It's the same site essentially. On the internets, stuff dies if it doesn't evolve. We don't want that to happen.

We've been working on this project for many years. It's time to invite more people into the project, in a way that is secure and safe for everybody. We need that, or the site will die. And letting TPB die is the last thing that is allowed to happen!

If the new owners will screw around with the site, nobody will keep using it. That's the biggest insurance one can have that the site will be run in the way that we all want to. And - you can now not only share files but shares with people. Everybody can indeed be the owner of The Pirate Bay now. That's awesome and will take the heat of us.

The old crew is still around in different ways. We will also not stop being active in the politics of the internets - quite the opposite. Now we're fueling up for going into the next gear. TPB will have economical muscles to let people evolve it. It will team up with great technicians to evolve the protocols. And we, the people interested in more than just technology, will have the time to focus on that. It's win-win-win.

The profits from the sale will go into a foundation that is going to help with projects about freedom of speech, freedom of information and the openess of the nets. I hope everybody will help out in that and realize that this is the best option for all. Don't worry - be happy!"

This could lead to the distruction

  • TPB sold out, plain and simple. But this is not the end of P2P, there are still usenet, rapidshare, ed2k, gnutella 1&2, and other torrent sites. I do feel betrayed by the TPB creators though. Why lie to our face? Just tell us the truth "our appeal got denied, so we need to pay the fines, and this is the way we choose to do it, by selling the Pirate Bay." None of this "taking it to the next level bullshit".

    RIP to the real Pirate Bay. Fuck the GGF Bay.

  • Indeed alot what they said is bs .. they fight for something for so many years and they do this.. what traitors.. i cant belive i ever support them :(

  • This day officially marks the day that the citizens lost control over the internet.

    Its clear as day Corporations rule the world.

    *shakes head* sad day.

    Watch what you say and do on the net as they are watching and probably profiting from the very thing you are typing or reading right now.

    FUCK PB

  • May god help us all

    The best we can do is to try to protect the websites dignity. i cannot believe i am going to say this, but we need to sink our ship before the new owners the chance to mess it up.

see all
