ThePirateBay.se and PirateBay.se have been seized

My pirating days are behind me now, once you start trying to create content you realize how difficult that can be and appreciate much more that content creators deserve compensation for their efforts.

That being said, this is bloody hilarious to watch! The authorities will go through months of court cases and spend a tonne of money to seize one domain, and minutes later the service pops up with 6 new ones.

Now they are going to begin the painful, expensive, difficult process again, and in a few months we will read that ThePirateBay.vg etc has been seized, with the top comment being a link to the new one.

I'm enjoying the show!

A follow-up post: https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-moves-to-gs-la-vg-am-mn-... The Pirate Bay has launched on 6 new domains, and thepiratebay.se is resolving to them in a round-robin fashion.

But how are they doing that if they don't control thepiratebay.se anymore?

A lot of pirates tend to be slightly more tech-educated than most people, or are at least able to follow instructions.

Keep the bindings for the domain and get instructions out on how to change your host file. Continue under the same domain as an extra kick to the teeth showing that domain seizure doesn't really prevent it from being used. It just hurts adoption rate.
