WOW...LOL!
The cockroach never dies.
And if it does, it respawns!

I am just at a huge laugth! - So wonderfull ! Here is a symbolic rose ! Kiss !

17 seeds and a whopping 4,400 leechers, good luck with that. Then again, when there is a will, there is a way.

Steal TPB before they sell out, that is in my mind a perfect action.
And a huge stick it to the industry at the same time. WIN WIN.

Sure there is! - Next - we make a huge radio network in spreadspectrum and with congnitive radio
sending up our own home made sattelites with rocketmissiles contaning hardware that can´t be taken down. And berry all kinds of strange reduntant hardware in the ground. Next we climb in the trees, with
small prevasive computing devices. With other words you can´t hide from the new age !

Does anyone know if it is illegal, or may become illegal to download a website?
Certainly the people who are shutting down the pirate bay will likewise want to de-legitimize the torrent, but its still just a website...?

The site was never copyrighted, so technically no. Since hosting a torrent site in The US is illegal though, I can't say if possessing the database is a crime or not.

it is hard to believe such a large community will die after a site or a tracker
a new free tracker is out there
