No, it won't be.

/thread and moved to OT.

 

no, it wont. and it won't matter anyways.

google filetype:torrent and you're done. people don't understand that the web never has to rely on an individual page. stuff just gets copied around to all sort of servers, and is allways findable.

 

If it does get shut down, nothing of quality will be lost.

 

There was no court order demanding the shutdown of TPB servers. Furthermore, the defendants are not convicted of their crimes yet; that is, they will not do jail time until after their appeal (if it fails).

 

The servers are in another country anyways, they can't do ck all!

 

so why are they thinking of moving their servers?

and sorry for posting in the wrong place,i didn't find where to post news ,sorry again

 

It's OK. I don't know why they're doing what they're doing, just that they have enough money and loopholes to have nothing to worry about.

 

Google is the best torrent tracker out there, go sue Google RIAA/MPAA!

 

Well, thank you for bringing this gem out Rob, so that now the retards who're into that stuff know a new source!

 

Pretty sure the retards that are into that stuff already know where to go.

My point was that any "good" they provide to people is far overshadowed by the bad that is there. So if "The Pirate Bay really shutting down?" I hope so.

 

Well the pirate bay going under is not gonna change anything as their torrents contains usually more that one tracker which means that their server disappearing(highly unlikely).

About the point you bring, Google is in the same situation, it will give you the results you want if you know what to look for. One other problem is that TPB just point you to where the file is, not actual material is stored on their server, I don't even think there is actually any illegal material transiting on their servers as they are not acting as seeds...
