    I lolled at some of the response

    Instead of simply recommending that you sodomize yourself with a retractable baton, let me recommend a specific model - the ASP 21". The previous lawyers tried to use a cheaper brand, but it broke during the action. - Threat from Apple.

    Old stuff. And actually posting a link to a piracy site probably isn't the best idea.

    PirateBay will be fine, I'm sure.

    Unrelated note; I miss Mininova. :/

    PirateBay has remained fine for quite some time. Hence my 'old stuff' comment. They've been getting those for the past 4-5 years, if not longer.

    What happened to them? I see the site is up but not showing any results.

    Ehhh....considering that you would have to have been living in a cave the past 5 years to not have heard of TPB, its not a huge deal.

    Well, I figure since it'd be against the rules to post direct links to illegal downloads, indirect links are kinda 'eh' as well.

    Loved their response to iRacing. They can receive threats back and forth, PirateBay is huge and is unlikely to get taken down anytime soon.

    As much as I enjoy a good Pirate Bay rant - once you've moved to private trackers, the pirate bay is pretty fucking horrible.

    Except a few private trackers have since become death.
