this has done nothing to even slightly slow down piracy. anyone that knows how to use a torrent has long searched the other 100 torrent sites and dont even miss piratebay.

Well, one can hope the closure will impede piracy at least to a degree.

“Now that the decentralized system for finding peers is so well developed, TPB has decided that there is no need to run a tracker anymore, so it will remain down! It’s the end of an era, but the era is no longer up2date. We have put a server in a museum already, and now the tracking can be put there as well,” the Pirate Bay crew write on their blog.
The tracker is something separate to their website and search functionality which is not being closed. Furthermore their tracker closing down will not affect anyone in the slightest because of DHT.
Finally, to the best of my knowledge, the Pirate Bay sale never actually went through because the company purchasing it had money issues.
