What is the future of The Pirate Bay?

Despite the fact that many users of bittorents believe that The Pirate Bay is not and never was the best BitTorrent search engine or tracker, but it is definitely considered the most famous. In addition to being “another torrent site,” The Pirate Bay is an opponent of the entertainment industry and sometimes behaves quite actively. Especially when it acquired the domain name IFPI.com, previously owned by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (International Federation of Phonogram Manufacturers).

Today marks a new chapter in the history of The Pirate Bay. Very soon the team of the popular site will be accused by the Swedish authorities of copyright infringement. Despite the fact that they are sure that they are right, their latest entries indicate a share of pessimism. For example, their latest blog entry says: “If we lose, the pending legal process (yes, really) will not have any changes in the work. The Pirate Bay will continue to work as always. We have been working for many years and will continue for a long time. ”The servers on which the site is located are not only in Sweden. They are located around the world and even the site administrator can not be sure of their location.



However, regardless of whether the site will remain, a court decision can determine the future of many similar cases. Swedish authorities and lawmakers have so far shown that they want to get acquainted with the positions of the sides of the parties and that they are not going to give in to pressure from large companies and the media. Now the charge consists of 4,620 pages filled with evidence against The Pirate Bay. It can be concluded that the prosecution is determined to deal decisively with Pirate Bay once and for all. If the prosecution wins, then problems threaten all sites like The Pirate Bay. If the accusation fails, the picture replacing the standard pirate logo at the moment will show one of the possible scenarios.
