According to gaming company Global Gaming Factory X, it is in the the process of acquiring The Pirate Bay for $7.8m (SEK 60 million). The acquisition is scheduled to be completed by August and will see the site launch new business models to compensate content providers and copyright owners.


heh...good luck with that. Without the torrents, the name Pirate Bay isn't worth shit imho. It'll be the same as it was with napster. Must be a huge blow to the torrent scene though, seeing as most (even large) other torrent sites basically mirrored theirs on the original TPB ones.

Saw it too. Well, after some days there will be a successor.

c'est la vie, what comes, goes. I used Napster once upon a time. Then I used various crap, then hit torrents with suprnova. Then pirate bay. Now I'll use mininova or something.
