We thought we were pretty clever when we compared Pirate Bay to Johnny Cash and his song I’ve Been Everywhere, after moving their domain to Peru, and then to Guyana. We’re kinda running out of ideas now that Pirate Bay has had to move again, this time back to Sweden and its familiar .se domain.
Yesterday, once Pirate Bay hopped to Guyana and adopted its .gy, it didn’t take long before its domain became suspended. Thus, Pirate Bay’s sails were forced to depart once again, and now they’re back in Scandinavia. TorrentFreak contacted the Guyana registry, and they had this to say about Pirate Bay’s suspension.
“Once a site violates our policies, it will be suspended.”
If Pirate Bay is to be believed though, domain seizures won’t pose a threat to the site for long, as they are allegedly developing a browser that would make the service invulnerable to such anti-piracy measures.
“They should wait for our new PirateBrowser, then domains will be irrelevant,” a Pirate Bay insider told TorrentFreak. “Once that is available then all links and sites will be accessible through a perfectly legal piece of browser software and the rest of it will be P2P, with no central point to attack via the legal system. By their actions they finally brought on the next generation of decentralized services.”
For now though, it seems as if the .se domain is a Pirate Bay safe haven, considering that the .se domain registry stated that they would not issue suspensions without a court order.
