The Open Bay Helps Launch 372 'Copies' of the Pirate Bay In a Week

Posted by timothy on Friday December 26, 2014 @12:33PM from the triple-digits dept.

An anonymous reader writes isoHunt, the group now best known for launching The Old Pirate Bay, has shared an update a week after debuting The Open Bay. The Pirate Bay, the most popular file sharing website on the planet, still isn't back following police raids on its data center in Sweden, but its "cause" is very much alive. So far, 372 "copies" of The Pirate Bay have been created thanks to the project. The torrent database dump, which combines content from isoHunt, KickassTorrents (via its public API), and The Old Pirate Bay, has seen 1,256 downloads to date.

I wouldn't mind having a million of them available, but they would need to be able to download or distribute each others databases.
It doesn't matter many there are if each of them only has one episode of the show that I want to watch. I don't believe that they are going to be updating the datase that they provide, so my new TPB won't have anything that was uploaded to your new TPB, which also doesn't have anything that was uploaded to Bob's TPB...
