The Pirate Bay Domain Expired - mothered - 10-21-2017
Greetings everyone,
The Pirate Bay's Swedish domain being "thepiratebay.se" has expired, and a court order Is preventing It's renewal. It was this very domain that was keeping TPB afloat during the tough times of litigation. I've just performed a WHOIS lookup and It's certainly expired. This Is what's generally displayed prior to the redemption period of the domain:

Will It's other domains follow suit? What does the future hold for TPB?

We love TBP. It will come back soon......

I know that they have a very large pool of domain names. One source described that they just buy up anything they can get their hands on and cycle through them. They get a takedown on one domain, they switch to another one and repeat. Eventually all the takedowns fall out of statute of limitations and they can reuse old domains.

It's still online via their original .org domain.
I remember that (with a few other domains) was also blacklisted a few years ago, but TPB managed to keep It running.

Oh! I thought org is also gone. My bad. Kickass have also managed to run their site. Their kickass.cd domain is working fine for me.

There's a lot of Kickass mirrors, if TPB ever actually gets taken down, similar mirrors will be made.
PS: I like your sig

There's also an updated site mirror that is available somewhere, they can always start where they left off.

Beyond this, I really don't understand why everyone has such a problem with torrent sites... I mean, if they successfully shut down all the torrent sites, we'll just switch back to usenet.. @mothered is probably the only other one here who will understand what I'm talking about..

That's not true. That domain was actually down for 2-3 years for a DMCA sting.
