Default Pirate Bay Legal Shenanigans
First of all, I'm such a noob to torrents. I barely had any luck with them in the past because I just gave up most of the time. I knew nothing about seeding, torrent trackers or anything else. But now, I discovered Transmission for mac and it seems to be working great as long as there are enough seeders.

Anyway, Piratebay is back up... since August 28 (for those who don't know, probably all of you do since you're guys). They're in Sweden now, where the copyright laws are very lax. Anyway, I thought I might humor you all with some legal threats I found on Piratebay's website:

The Pirate Bay - The world's largest BitTorrent tracker

The threat and response from EA games is the funniest in my opinion.

I think that they were at a different location at some point in time, not sure exactly.

They were always in Sweden I think, a good read here on there history;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Bay

On on a side note for Irish users,

Quote:
On 21 February 2009, Eircom however declared that access to The Pirate Bay would soon be blocked altogether,[116] but retracted on 24 February 2009 with a statement saying that they would not block the Pirate Bay without a court order.[113] Eircom appears to have taken yet another turn in their decision on The Pirate Bay with news breaking on 20 August 2009 that they will indeed commence blocking of the website from next month (September 2009).[117] As of September the 1st 2009 Eircom has blocked access to The Pirate Bay.
Is that true ?

Using BT myself.

Transmission is awesome, takes up almost no resources.

if you guys d/l tv shows, this site is amazing for torrent, and they're updated probably 1 hr after the show is aired.

EZTV - TV Torrents Online

just make sure you keep your ratio to at least 1:1, that means you send as much as you receive, it will help the community run faster, and it's not that hard cause there're tons of people downloading and uploading.
