Good for them!

Regardless of how one may feel about piracy in general, I've been rather annoyed with how various police agencies and governments have been completely ignoring their own laws in their pursuit of shutting down Pirate Bay. There's been some very gross missuses of power going on there.

Their stupidity will catch up to them eventually and drive them bankrupt, or they'll cave. It might take a century, but it'll happen.

It all depends on how long they can convince governments to keep them propped up.

They moved to the Caribbean, got the domain seized anyway, and are

here,

at the moment.

Took me a couple minutes to find it, today.
