Is the pirate bay illegal?

Why is The Pirate Bay down?

  • Before you report this question, you should know that The Pirate Bay is not illegal. Sure you can do illegal stuff on it, but I don't. I only download stuff with no copyright. Now that's done, is The Pirate Bay down for everyone else? And does anyone know why? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Hello, you can still access it, TPB manages to change their URL address and now it's back and can be access again... Try their new address, here copy it and paste it... http://tpb.pirateparty.org.uk/

Because it is one of the world's largest facilitators of illegal downloading, many Internet providers themselves have blocked their users from accessing the site, as they don't wish to be seen to promote or encourage illegal actions. In the UK, sky,everything everywhere, talk talk, O2 and virgin media must all Prevent their users from accessing the site by law. Despite the unfair side you see to all this, most content on the site was illegal due to copyright infringement etc. If you download "stuff with no copyright" there are many other places to look.

99.9% of torrenting sites are used for piracy, and the 0.01% used for non piracy can just be downlaod from the place of origin (say a game update or something can be gotten from the site of the game). So if you go to thepiratebay, its not for legal reasons >.> This might help you http://cristgaming.com/pirate.swf
