Anyone know how The Pirate Bay is still alive in 2018? The founders went to jail and sold it. I think it’s a nonprofit now based in Seychelles but not sure if that is up to date I asked around in their IRC recently but everyone just called me a fed and told me to fuck off

So, the basic answer is that they're using magnets, which aren't files, but are links to locations of files -- so it's less illegal in that regard. Past that, they have the database index distributed across a number of different nodes, and there's also a list of domains.

Yeah, magnet URLs are unrelated (although it is a legal strat) b/c the main thing is Sweden basically excommunicated TPB after US threatened sanctions. AFAIK, they publish annual archives and def distribute DB internally like you said, but I’m trying to find written confirmation

I'm trying to remember the details of it. They posted a blog post (titled something like "TPB is now take-down proof", that laid out their strategy for making it death-proof, but I don't remember where that was posted to, or how to find it now.

Yeah they describe how their request router and storage are in different countries and whatnot, I’ll find the article
