The Pirate Bay is a website, a search engine, which has an index of torrent files. A lot of copyrighted material is listed on the site, but the site doesn't store any of the copyrighted material. It just points the user to where you can download it from. So for a while The Pirate Bay has been the largest places you can find pirated movies, music, games, and apps. But this site first came up 2003. And is still up and operation now, 18 years later! You would think someone would shut this place down by now. How does the biggest source for copyrighted material stay up and online for that long? Listen to this episode to find out.
I really like this podcast, which is usually aboutother things, but because I love the bay and Peter Sunde and everything they (at least used to) stand for.
When I saw it I had to listen to it and it was really nice listening to Peter Sunde for an hour.
Peter Sunde, the coolest of the three Pirate Bay admins.
The other guys (Gottfrid and Fredrik) had more technical chops, but Sunde brought a lot of thoughtful politics to the table, had better social skills, and was the only one to actually willingly surrender to his prison sentence while the other admins skipped the country to avoid prison, only to be arrested and deported later anyway.

In the podcast he also talks about how much he hates them and they all gate each other.
