Another Torrent Site Has Resurrected the Pirate Bay

 

The popular torrent site Isohunt just launched a new fully functional website—oldpiratebay.org— that lets you search through the Pirate Bay archives. This is a little bit silly, since Pirate Bay’s archives have been public for years. But it’s also a little bit useful if you’ve been having Pirate Bay withdrawal since the site got raided by Swedish police.

The funny thing is that the new site was built and hosted by Isohunt, a potential Pirate Bay competitor. The Old Pirate Bay is a useful site, too! Instead of just mirroring the original, the Old Pirate Bay has a functional search engine, working magnet links, and all of the old pages. To boot, there’s even new content being uploaded all the time.

It’s hard to guess what the company’s intentions are for the Old Pirate Bay
