article published on 1 February, 2015
The Pirate Bay has figuratively risen from the ashes today, after nearly two months of downtime following a police raid by Swedish authorities back in December.
The infamous torrent tracker has replaced its iconic pirate ship logo with a phoenix, at least for the time being.
Back in its original form, including the .se domain, the Pirate Bay had promised a return by February 1st. Some ... [ read the full article ]

Not sure who is behind this version of Piratebay but I have my suspicions. As a test I downloaded three of the available movies, including American Sniper. All three were unplayable unless you downloaded and installed an executable codec from a provided URL. Who knows what else is in that executable but later today I'll fire up my expendable honeypot machine running assorted anti-spyware and anti-virus programs and give it a try.

As suspected all three movies from this "new piratebay" come with digital stink bombs attached. I got as far as being asked to accept search and protect, an infamous malware program, with 10 warning popups from my antispyware software popping up in the background, before I killed the program and called it a day on the 'new piratebay'. Now I do know that whoever runs piratebay is not responsible for the content they provide pointers to, and that the big movie companies pay hackers to seed these sites with malicious crap, but my recent three of three experience today was enough to at least be cautious.

Thank you for sharing your experiences...I might hold off for a while before I visit this "new" bay.

Right now there are no moderators at this "Pirate Bay".
I never cared for TPB and other popular torrent sites
for that reason: Popularity.
As in, hint: Facebook ...hint: Twitter.
When a pirate strikes, he does it discretely and leaves
without a trace.
These torrent sites who call themselves "pirates" are
an insult and a disgrace to the act of Piracy.
Because they advertise their activity to the world on
Facebook, Twitter, and in other social networks.
Would a deer willingly exposed itself from hiding,
into open view before its predators (hunters)? NO.
Why? Because it will get Shot.
So then... Why oh WHY must torrent sites expose
themselves in social networks!
"Follow us on Twitter!"....."Like us on Facebook!"
...that's like saying
"Hey hunters, over here! Come shoot us!"
KickassTorrents has had so many DMCA take-down notices
in the past several weeks, and they continue to defy
the MPAA. Pretty soon Kickass will get its ass kicked,
along with many other torrent sites, including TPB.
Torrent sites have themselves to blame for drawing
so much attention from the MPAA and the Feds.
If you run a torrent site, go down Alone!
Don't bring us users down with you.
Cause We're Not Havin that, and your torrent
site is Not worth fighting for.
I'd rather sit in jail for Meaningful reasons
than be prosecuted as a member of any mere torrent site.
This is my personal opinion.
I don't torrent to abuse the torrent system or to
gain some stupid rank, reputation, fame, and popularity.
I torrent to share my collection, and my personal works,
with my friends.
If some torrent site is in trouble with the law,
I'm moving my stuff elsewhere.
I naturally Don't Care about TPB and any of those
other torrent sites.
I've recently closed my accounts with them after seeing
all the hassle they're going through.
Hey, if they wanna get shot down, let them.......
...but, they for damn sure as hell AINT gonna
bring me down with them!
Just sayin.

Speaking from some experience, from the days when downloading movies for own use was still legal here in Canada, on the real piratebay, i.e. the one operated in Sweden up until the end of last year, you could end up downloading files that were virus or malware infected. I'd say at a ratio of maybe one in every 50 files. Also there would be the occasional commercial ones e.g. password protected zip or rar files (sometimes called parasite-ware) that you were asked to pay to open. Compared to that this experience of 3 of 3 being digitally stinkbomb-loaded, is not too promising.

On another note, the internet as we know it is on a network infrastructure that was designed for military purposes, i.e. to have a backup system for communications in the US in the event of a nuclear attack. As such the brilliant software engineers who designed the TCP-IP protocol and all the other good stuff that makes the network function, did so with with an eye to the motto "obstacles are simply things to be bypassed". As such I have no doubt that the obstacles the big movie and music corporations have succeeded in throwing in the way of file sharing will turn out to be very temporary stopgaps.

This battle between the movie industry and the pirates will
continue for a very long time.
With new technology comes new ways to circumvent it.
Half the world will try to be a step ahead of the other half.
It's been roughly fourteen years since Bram Cohen designed
the first protocol of Bittorrent.
After its first few months in place, users realized it
was a better p2p system than Kazaa and the ol' eDonkey...
...much better and much more efficient by a long shot.
If it hadn't been for bittorrent, sites like TPB and
Demonoid, ISOHunt, and others, wouldn't be where
they are today.
Somewhere, someone is working on taking it to another level
or perhaps designing a better safer more discrete protocol.
And when that happens, it too will become abused later on.
We've taken the bittorrent system for granted and now
look where it's brought us.
We need to share files amongst our peers as an effective
means of communication and networking.
If we abuse that means, then file-sharing is pointless.
As the saying goes, a few bad apples wreck the entire lot.

Perhaps if you weren't a leeching jackass downloading movies while they're still in the theater, you wouldn't have to concern yourself with jacked up files.
It takes a true ignoramus and dishonorable person to jack movies that are currently still in theaters. Have SOME respect!!!!!!!!!!
You're no doubt a typical rampant leeching pirate that doesn't buy a thing and doesn't contribute back to society, with a lame reason like so many have of "it's crap put out by hollywood so who cares if I pirate it"..............yet it's crap you want badly enough to steal while it hasn't even hit a rippable format.
These types of malicious files within movies that are still in theaters is TYPICAL and I hope that virus destroys your data. Serves you right for not thinking and being dishonorable!.

If you are having a problem with constipation today I suggest you go and take your dump in the toilet, like most civilized people do, and not in an online public forum.

The low quality files, give a very bad reputation to the real pirates.
I know:
Everyone want to be a "famous" pirate.
But do it with high standards.

I go to whatever site works and finds the stuff I want, I tend to use torrentz to do a blanket search before trying private trackers and other stuff. I am going to need a new 4TB hard drive.... I wish 10TB was out already mabye all my anime would fit on that and the rest can be for film, tv, games and music....
Uhg I blew 200$ in the past 4 months most of it on steam.... LOL
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Ugh! Such unnecessary chaotic turns of recent events,
who knows What or Who to believe anymore!
The torrent world has been thrown into chaos as we know it;
And someone is out there laughing at the success of this plan.
Just sayin.
