Today Global Gaming Factory X AB has taken over the All-time Controversial Pirate bay for a Price of just 7.8 Million Dollars.
According to me the Price is Very, verly low as compared to the actual popularity of the Site. The News has Been Confirmed at Pirate Bay and the question is, why is the price so low? I can’t think of any answer right now!
We were Too sure about this news Earlier especially after their last Post Title “TPB might Change it’s owner”. Well, were not shocked at this news but we are surely shocked with the price!
Another Question that arises. Will Pirate Bay Change how it works? When we asked the Ex-Owner , the answers we get are –
The profits from the sale will go into a foundation that is going to help with projects about freedom of speech, freedom of information and the openess of the nets. I hope everybody will help out in that and realize that this is the best option for all. Don’t worry – be happy!
But what we hear from the new owner Hans Pandeya, Ceo of GLobal Gaming Factory it’s complete;y Different.
The Pirate Bay is a site that is among the top 100 most visited Internet sites in the world. However, in order to live on, The Pirate Bay requires a new business model, which satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary. Content creators and providers need to control their content and get paid for it. File sharers’ need faster downloads and better quality
But the main question out of this whole TakeOver is that Will Pirate Bay change or not? Well, assuming what the New Ceo said it might happen Soon. But let’s Keep our finger’s crossed for some Good news!

Vote on the future of The Pirate Bay you would like to see! http://www.votetheday.com/pirate-bay/the-future-o…
wtf 🙁

This seems to happen about once every five years or so. It used to be NSI, then ICANN, anoniyng people. Now it is government (enabled by ICANN). Anyone remember AlterNIC?That’s not to say it can’t happen, but I don’t see a particular reason why it would now, and the lock-in effect of the DNS only increases over time, as it is embedded in more and more devices.I can more easily see a sort of overlay DNS system for those who would choose to switch back and forth between the two, but even that has a chicken/egg problem with both compelling reasons to do so, and software infrastructure to support alternative name resolution. Heck, were I persuing this, I think I’d try something very simple and hackish, like P2P distribution of an /etc/hosts file. And of course, already I’m thinking of ways to make it more complex, involving git and PGP.
