dieing trackers or p2p apps isnt a concern. there will always be 30 more to replace every one.
someone will always be at the top and they always fall.

learn to internet history and how its not that big a deal

"Whether or not The Pirate Bay and others will move away from torrent files in the future, the closure of the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker is nevertheless a milestone in the history of the Internet."

Did any of you actually read the article or did you just read the headline and jump to totally uninformed conclusions?

“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.

That's what usually happens when someone buys a tracker site. They close it down, they revamp it, reopen it as a pay on a monthly trial basis like Napster is now and profit big.

And with a third post in a row, you have proven you STILL haven't bothered to read the aforementioned article.

like many other milesstones have been long passed. many have been shut down. and the internet is bigger every year so yes the next one is always the biggest.

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.

it was biggest because it has the most users on the site. not because i9t had all/most the torrents listed.
now there is already a new biggest and no one noticed.

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

if metallica had any clue what the internet would be like just a few years later, they wouldn't have wasted their time fighting napster back then.

it is literally like trying to spoon out pee from a swimming pool.
the effort on 1 artist to remove their content from 1 site just makes you look foolish.

Uploading a torrent for a half bad swedish film = killing 12 children


Isn't that great?

[Chrono]

That's wonderful.
