Wow. Weird. Good to hear they found refuge though. Maybe Rodman can be their spokesman too.

This is just so very very, wrong.....
I think Jim said it best.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Bis zum bitteren ende

This. What makes it wrong? Its not like theyre hosting the files, theyre embracing freedom it looks to me. And if not then theyre doing it to spite other countries. Oh well! The pirate bay lives on!

This was all a (quite obvious) hoax:

I'm not going to lie here, 98% of the movies, tv shows, and music I enjoy comes from pirated sources. That being said, it seems TPB has a pretty deluded sense of self-importance. They seem to forget that if everyone followed the pirate's mantra, no one would be rewarded for creating the content in the first place. I don't really see how they have the moral high ground on this issue...
