Pirates of the Caribbean: the Pirate Bay Moves To Island of Sint Maarten

New submitter coolnumbr12 writes "For the second time in a week, The Pirate Bay has found a new home for its popular torrent website. A complaint issued Tuesday by Swedish prosecutors threated the Icelandic domain, forcing the file-sharing pirates to take harbor in the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten with a new .sx domain name. 'Control of the island, which has just 78,000 residents, is split between France and the Netherlands. Around 41,000 live on the Dutch side and 37,000 on the French. ... Even if the court grants the prosecutor’s request it remains to be seen how effective any seizures will be. Time and again the BitTorrent site has responded by relocating to new domains.'"

Is they hop around the world with almost no downtime at all.
Even the best sites that we PAY for can barely manage to do simple upgrades and changes and say the same..

The only thing that moved, is where it's domain name is at. the servers are in the "cloud" they don't need to move, and if they did, they can do it no problem. But all this is just about domain name changes.
