Pirate Bay Closed (again)

Not the end of the chase for the Pirate Bay from law enforcement authorities, as shown by the last episode of the series made sensational. In a coordinated operation in 14 European countries have been able to disable the site Pirate Bay. Of course, history has shown that the closure of The Pirate Bay is a temporary inconvenience to users and nothing more.


The Swedish police had been instructed by a prosecutor to visit the offices of a local ISP and subscribers to seek allegedly involved in the operation of the infamous torrent tracker. The police gave the company the IP addresses in the context of Swedish legislation requested e-mail addresses of subscribers. A few hours later, the site Pirate Bay was closed and remained inactive.

Of course, disabling the site does not mean an end of data exchange. The tracker is still working properly, so the ongoing downloads / uploads are not affected by the closure of the site.

It remains to be seen how much time will be required to return to the page of Pirate Bay.
