The Pirate Bay Goes to Jail

The Pirate Bay has gone legit.


"Embattled file-sharing site The Pirate Bay is to be turned into a legal business after being bought by a Swedish software company... Global Gaming Factory acquired The Pirate Bay for 60 million Swedish kronor," writes inthemix's JackT.


"It looks like bittorrent tracker OpenBitTorrent, a name already put forward as a replacement... is set to take over all of the torrents currently tracked by The Pirate Bay," suggests Softpedia's Lucian Parfeni. "While it may be more than just a coincidence, whether this move was foreseen or even planed by the people behind The Pirate Bay can only be speculated — but it is certain that the community will be well catered to in the future..."


More here from TorrentFreak ... more here from Ars Technica ... more here from Music Ally ... more here from Techdirt ... and the press release is here.
