I just read it… just about everywhere. Surprised and not surprised at the same time. I read the details but honestly I don’t need to read further if you can buy shares into this new company. This is a monumental happening though. If they shut down the pirate bay that’s a big blow to the file sharing community. A lot of private and public trackers appear to have a lot of torrents but actually don’t. I’m suspecting a significant drop in bandwidth usage, well the first few days. After that every other existing tracker is overloaded.
It doesn’t matter really, there’s going to be 20 new trackers by tomorrow. Perhaps finally usenet will be used properly again? Beats torrents, though you’ll have to pay for good retention.
