After initially being taken offline by Swedish authorities, and after its first escape route failed, The Pirate Bay has returned with all guns blazing. With a modified copy of one of Churchill’s most famous speeches, The Pirate Bay team tells the public that they will defend the Internet, with or without the site.

Churchill's modified speech wrote:

We have, ourselves, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Internets, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

    Even though large parts of Internets and many old and famous trackers have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Ifpi and all the odious apparatus of MPAA rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the ef-nets and darknets, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Internets, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the baywords.org, we shall fight on the /. and on the digg, we shall fight in the courts; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, the Internets or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Anon Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in Cerf’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

    Signed;

    The Pirate Bay Crew – Now until needed.

Do you think it'll stay online or will it be forced to shut down?

hard to tell, but either way, it won't change anything.

If I were a customer of that service, I'd be looking for alternatives.

- Company buy out by a really shady dealing company
- Courts turning against them
- ISP's getting them shut down

The user experience and level of satisfaction derived from their service is rather going to shit.

TPB can't keep playing this same ol' game. Illegal or not, they are technologically stifling. If they really want to make this viable, they should continue investing in technologies which put them ahead of the curve (trackers over tor springs to mind). Otherwise they'll just keep getting shut down, turned on, shut down, turned on, etc.

Torrents have been revolutionary in the sense that it's immensely difficult to prosecute all the peers in the cloud (as compared to taking down, say, a highly popular FTP server). The tracker itself is the last remaining lynch pin which can be targeted. They should fix that, a lot of their problems go away.

This yo-yo movement from TPB is actually a good thing. It keeps away the attention from other sites

It was down for some odd hours or a day just now. It didn't work in the morning.
