The Pirate Bay is online, waving a pirate flag

Looks like the site is hosted on Binero[1].. which is a pretty cheap one-click setup web hosting provider. I don't think it is likely they will open the torrent site while hosting there. Probably a temporary solution if they are working on something else.

The video is leeched from isohunt, weird.

I confirm it's the real Pirate Bay. Annoying ads everywhere, even with no content to show... /s

My ISP is seemingly blocking that site. I can access it from my DO VPS, though.

now it has a strange forward time counter and a hash...

time since the last police raid
