The Pirate Bay (TPB) is known as a pirate haven for illegally downloaded goods and copyrighted material on the net. However, The Pirate Bay will turn straight after being sold to Global Gaming Factory X.
Swedish company, TPB was sold to Global Gaming Factory X for $ 7.8 million and the deal has infuriated its fans and fellow pirates. Pirates have been bad mouthing their once safe haven site as well as the owner, Peter Sunde, on social networking sites such as Twitter and on torrent tracking forums including Mininova, SuprBay and TorrentFreak.
One user states that “calling TPB a sellout is mild. I was a fan because of their audacity…TBP doing something like this seems contrary to what they stood for. So it sucks.”
Words such as “sell out” have been thrown around a lot. Many fans claim that TBP have ironically, made “a deal with the devil.” One user claims “there are plenty of other sites that will be able to handle my needs. RIP Pirate Bay.”
However, even with the end of this piracy haven, this is most certainly not the end to illegal internet downloads. One user comments, “TBP’s time has simply come. Piracy overcame the fall of the likes of Napster and Suprnova and it will also overcome the loss of TPB as we know it.”
Even with the fall of The Pirate Bay, piracy will most likely still sail the high internet seas for many years to come.
