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

Posted by timothy on 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.

    Sometimes they told people whether the material would work, had malware, or what to do to get it to work.

      This right here. Finding torrents is easy. Find torrents that are not crap is a bit harder.
