The Pirate Bay About To Relaunch Suprnova.org

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-for-how-long dept.

kungfujesus writes "The Pirate Bay crew has been working on this secret project for quite some time now. Back in April they wrote a cryptic post on their blog announcing that something was coming. In a response to this announcement TPB admin Brokep told TorrentFreak: "The past, the present and the future. It's all the same, but one thing's for sure, we will radiate for weeks", today it became clear that he was referring to the resurrection of Suprnova."

    Slyck.com has an article up on the topic, with a few more details, and a couple comments from the original Suprnova maintainer.

    He (Andrej Preston) comments in the article:

    "My deal with [The Pirate Bay] was that the role of SuprNova can't change much. It needs to be community orientated, but I hope they make some updates the SuprNova was sooo missing. But what they will do, it's not my thing to decide anymore. But I know they will do [well] and will try to keep the community spirit running." http://www.slyck.com/story1561_SuprNovaorg_Transfe rred_to_The_Pirate_Bay

    It's not a tracker. It's an aggregation site. It just stores copies of .torrent files from public trackers, which would include TPB. Most of the special-purpose (TV, movies, games, whatever) torrent sites are aggregation sites as well.

    Why is the parent a troll?

    I had software I was developing before in my part time and it was ripped off and pirated. It no longer became worth my time to work on it so it died a quick death.

    Most people aren't thought about after they're gone. "I wonder where Rob got the plutonium" is better than most get.

    Isohunt is now complying with the MPAA/RIAA. Don't use it.
