WHAT IS PIRATBYRÅN AND WHAT IS ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PIRATE BAY?

Piratbyrån, which means “the Pirate Bureau” in Swedish, was a think tank based
in Sweden that promoted the free sharing of information and copyrighted
material. Their archived website can be found at
https://web.archive.org/web/20141224113603/http://piratbyran.org/

This organization was later on related to the Pirate Party, a political
organization that spread around Europe and the USA. It was also the cradle of
The Pirate Bay, and its three founders originate from it.

Its name derived from the Swedish “Svenska Antipiratbyrån” (Swedish Anti-Piracy
Bureau), and it was selected as a humorist version of it, by removing the word
“anti”. The group disbanded in 2010, after the death of one of its co-founders.
Later on, several former members of Piratbyrån became involved in Telecomix, a
decentralized network aimed at fighting for and discussing about freedom of
information.

WHAT PLATFORMS IS THE PIRATE BAY RUNNING ON?

At present The Pirate Bay is running on Lighttpd and PHP for the front ends. As
a database, it uses the open source MySQL. It also uses the app Sphinx on the
two search systems, memcached for caching SQL queries and PHP-sessions, and
Varnish in front of Lighttpd for caching static content.

It complements the previous mentioned apps with Opentracker as a Bit Torrent
tracking app. Since 2008, The Pirate Bay supports SSL encryption, and from the
19 of January 2009, The Pirate Bay has IPv6 support for their tracking system.
However, since the 17 of November 2009, The Pirate Bay has withdrawn support for

WHAT IS THE ARBOGA CASE AND HOW DOES IT RELATE TO THE PIRATE BAY?

The Arboga case happened in Sweden on March 17, 2008. That day, German citizen
Christine Schürrer murdered two children and seriously hurt their mother on her
head. The Pirate Bay got and published photos of the autopsy of the minors. When
their father Nicklas Jangestig asked for the photos to be withdrawn, his
petition was denied. When explaining The Pirate Bay’s decision Peter Sunde
declared to TV4: "I don't think it's our job to judge if something is ethical or
unethical or what other people want to put out on the internet".


WHAT WAS THE BEIJING BAY?

The Beijing Bay was the name that The Pirate Bay temporarily used for a period
of time in 2008, after the International Olympic Committee asked the Swedish
government to shut down The Pirate Bay web site. The reason behind this was -
the International Olympic Committee explained - that just in one day, there were
more than 1 million downloads of footages from the Olympic Games. Most of these
downloads were related to the opening ceremony.


WHAT WAS THE 2013 PIRATE BAY’S HOAX?

The 2013 Pirate Bay’s hoax was an announcement made on a blog in March 2013,
stating that The PirateBay had moved its servers to North Korea. The
announcement turned out to be false, and The Pirate Bay’s servers had remained
in the same place that they were.


WHICH COUNTRIES HAVE HOSTED THE PIRATE BAY SERVERS?

During its legal battles, The Pirate Bay had to change the location of its
servers many times. Thus, after the confiscation of its servers in 2006, it
moved its app to servers in the Netherlands. Later, it moved its servers to
Greenland, then to Iceland, and from there to St. Martin. At present The Pirate
Bay is hosted on the cloud.

WHAT DOMAINS HAS THE PIRATE BAY USED IN THE PAST?

Due to its ongoing legal problems, The Pirate Bay has changed its domain several
times. Thus, for example, in 2013, the site used an Ascension Island domain
(.ac), a Peru domain (.pe), and a Guyana domain (.gy), ending that year with a
Swedish domain (.se). At present it uses the .org domain, due to legal problems
with the Swedish domain.


WHAT NATIONALITY WERE THE HACKERS THAT GAINED ACCESS TO THE PIRATE BAY
ADMINISTRATIVE PANEL IN 2010?

On the 8 of July 2010, The Pirate Bay was successfully hacked by a group of
Argentinian hackers, who penetrated the administrative panel via a back-end
breach. They managed to obtain the IP-addresses of some of The Pirate Bay’s
users, and some of their emails and MD5-hashed passwords. They were also able to
delete some torrent files.


WHO WANTED TO ACQUIRE THE PIRATE BAY IN 2009?

On the 30 of June 2009, the Swedish advertising company Global Gaming Factory X
AB announced their intention to buy The Pirate Bay and to offer the service on a
fee-basis, using a model that would pay content providers and copyright owners.
The Pirate Bay explained that the proceeds of the sale will be deposited in an
offshore account; and used in projects related to freedom of speech, freedom of
information, and the openness of the Internet. However, the letter of intention
expired without being honored by Global Gaming Factory X AB, and the deal never
happened.


WHICH COUNTRY (AND WHY) EXTRADITED AND SENTENCED GOTTFRID SVARTHOLM?

He was found guilty and sentenced to three years and half in prison on the 31
October 2014. He was released on the 29 of September 2015.

HOW EASY IT IS TO OBTAIN MATERIAL FROM THE PIRATE BAY?

It is very easy to obtain material from The Pirate Bay. The only thing that you
need to do is to visit their website and do a search. In order to visit their
web page, just type the URL https://www.thepiratebay.org/ and you will be
prompted to their search engine. Now, enter some keywords related to your
search’ and you will be prompted to a list of results. Choose the one that suits
your needs better, and use a torrent client program to download the file. No
other action or the use of another special program is required.


WHAT ARE THE MAIN RISKS OF USING THE PIRATE BAY?

The main risks of using The Pirate Bay are two: you getting caught, and your
computer being infected by malicious content.

Getting caught by a government or copyright association may mean that you have
to pay a fine or reparations. There have been several cases like this,
particularly in the USA and in the EU. However, most of these legal cases have
involved heavy users.

However, the most important risk is downloading contaminated material, which can
produce some harmful effects on your computer, or let you fall into some scam.
This risk can be highly reduced by installing a good antivirus on your computer,
such as AVG or Kaspersky. Besides, many good antiviruses are available for free.

ARE VIRUSES A REAL PROBLEM WHEN OBTAINING FILES FROM THE PIRATE BAY?

The Pirate Bay is just a magnet / torrent search engine. Thus, unless these
files are contaminated, there is no risk of getting malicious content from The
Pirate Bay. The main virus risk comes from the files that you download with your
torrent client program. As The Pirate Bay doesn’t check any of these files and
it is not responsible for their content, you face all the risks when getting a
file.


WHAT IS BEST TO USE MIRROR SITES OR PROXY SITES?

It depends on the situation. If the official Pirate Bay is available online,
then it is better to use a proxy, as it links to the correct source. As mirror
sites are copies, which may not be fully updated, they may not contain the
latest data available on the official site. Thus, they should be kept as a
second option, and should be used when access to the official site and its
proxies is not available.


SHOULD I USE A VPN WHEN USING THE PIRATE BAY?

If you have the necessary financial resources to pay for a VPN service, the
answer is yes. Although VPNs add to your surfing costs, they can protect your
computer from being identified. This is because VPNs work as protected networks,
which transmit encrypted information and let you surf different sites without
the fear of being monitored. Just check, before selecting one, that the service
allows you to visit The Pirate Bay. In addition, VPNs can protect your identity
when using a torrent client software. However, once more, check whether the
service allows for anonymous P2P communication or not.

available.


DO ALL VPNS ALLOW YOU TO VISIT THE PIRATE BAY?

No. There are some VPN providers that do not allow their subscribers to use The
Pirate Bay site. As a consequence, if you are planning to visit The Pirate Bay
and to use a VPN, it is very important that you check if the service provider
will permit you to do so.


WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE PIRATE BAY?

The Pirate Bay has many supporters and detractors. As the copyright subject is
contentious, many people, institutions and governments speak against The Pirate
Bay, indicating that it provides a tool for thieves.

However, there are many fans who abide to The Pirate Bay’s mantra that says
“sharing is caring”. Their philosophy is mainly based on the idea that
information and tools such as software programs should be available to all,
whether they can afford it or not.

There is also a huge amount of people who are indifferent to the actions of The
Pirate Bay, or that they don’t know that it exists.

WHAT SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT WHEN VISITING THE PIRATE BAY?

There are several things that you will need to consider before visiting The
PirateBay. First, you must check if your country of residency forbids and
penalizes access to it. In this case, it will be very convenient for you to use
the services of a good VPN in order to remain anonymous during your usage of The
Pirate Bay. Second, read the comments that appear on the torrents, as they can
warn you about potential dangers. Third, use those torrents that have a large
number of seeders and leechers, as this decreases the probability of you
downloading malicious content. And finally, have a good antivirus on your
machine in order to avoid that it gets infected.

WHEN WILL THE PIRATE BAY BE SHUT DOWN?

It is very difficult to predict when The Pirate Bay will be offline, as there
are many factors that influence the life of this site. As a normal web site, it
is affected by all features related to server and Internet performance. However,
as The Pirate Bay has always been a contentious site, it has also been affected
by hacking and legal shutdowns. The most famous PirateBay’s shutdown was in
2014, when its offices were raided by the Swedish police and their servers
seized. However, it was restored in a matter of days.

The good news is that every time that The Pirate Bay has been offline, its
services have been quickly restored, usually in a matter of hours or days. This
is partly due to the fact that its architecture, based on virtual machines, is
tailored for fast service restoration. In addition, the shutdowns of The Pirate
Bay usually don’t affect its mirror sites, which remain active, giving the site
an almost uninterrupted life.


WHAT IS THE TORRENTFREAK SITE AND WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PIRATE BAY CAN I
FIND THERE?

TorrentFreak, also known as TS, is a blogging site that specializes in the
BitTorrent protocol, file sharing, copyright infringement and digital rights.
The owner of the site identifies himself / herself by “Ernesto”, and its blogs
are usually very well updated with news and trends. The published content is
available for free under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial version
3.0 license.




WHAT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ADS HAS THE PIRATE BAY RECEIVED?

The Pirate Bay has received several types of complaints about the ads that
appear on its page. These complaints mainly relate to two aspects. First, there
are many ads linked to pornographic sites, which can be harmful to minors and
unpleasant to many users. Second, many Pirate Bay’s users have reported their
frustration at how easy it is to click on unwanted ads unconsciously, and thus
be prompted to many extra opened windows. The Pirate Bay has usually responded
that it needs financing to function, and ads are one of the best ways to obtain
the necessary funds.


WHERE CAN I FIND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD A PROXY SITE FOR THE PIRATE BAY?

You can find some very good help on how to set up a proxy site for The Pirate
Bay at https://piratebay-proxylist.com/set-up-piratebay-proxy.html

There you will find several options, such as using NGINX, and two PHP scripts.
The first can be used when you have a server available for this purpose. The PHP
scripts are a good option if you don’t have a server of your own, but you still
want to create a proxy via a web page.
