New Pirate Bay Greenland Domains Suspended

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-off-my-domain dept.

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."

    That's not entirely true. From my experience when I seed a torrent on the sute (legal ones by the way), it normally offers a direct download to the torrent file until a certain number of seeders become available. Then it only gives the magnet/hash. If the seeder count drops below a ce3rtain criteria, it again gives the link for the torrent file.

    Just sayin.
