New Pirate Bay Greenland Domains Suspended

The Pirate Bay switched to two Greenland-based domains Tuesday morning but it looks like the party is already over. The company responsible for .GL TLD registrations said they would not allow the domains to be put to illegal use. “Tele-Post has today decided to block access to two domains operated by file-sharing network The Pirate Bay,” the company said. According to TorrentFreak: "Queries to the .GL domain registry now confirm that both the domains in question have been officially suspended."

  1. Alternate Method of Accesing TPB by Idetuxs · · Score: 5, Informative

    As is a DNS problem just tupe TPB's ip directly http 194.71.107.80 /81/82/83. Works like charm.

    Pretty useful info here: http://proxybay.info/alternate-methods.html

    Magnet links do not NEED trackers and tpb hasn't run its own trackers in quite a while. Your issue is something else.

    You're forgetting that the term "piracy" has been used to describe copyright violation for over 400 years. [citation required]

    Yes?

    From Wikipedia:

    The practice of labelling the infringement of exclusive rights in creative works as "piracy" predates statutory copyright law. Prior to the Statute of Anne in 1710, the Stationers' Company of London in 1557 received a Royal Charter giving the company a monopoly on publication and tasking it with enforcing the charter. Those who violated the charter were labelled pirates as early as 1603.[2]

    1603 is 410 years ago, thus it's over 400 years.
