Does anyone remember the Pirate Bay? It seems like a bit of a silly question. I mean, it only remained as one of the top file-sharing websites in the world for the duration of an entire decade, dominating the 2000s as the go-to BitTorrent search engine. But one Tuesday morning would change everything. People would wake up to find the most popular and controversial online index for entertainment seized by the Swedish government, completely wiped off the face of the earth, left with absolutely nothing but a bleak outlook on the website’s future. With the website’s founders now in jail, people didn’t know if the Pirate Bay was ever coming back or if it’s only remnants would be unreliable, dangerous site clones. Was this the end of mainstream online piracy? The answer to this question would be answered just a month later, when the website would just go back up, featuring a countdown, with operations immediately resuming as normal immediately after.
