The pirate bay is still up despite being taken down, is this now also a honeypot?
- SmashDan 19d agoThe Pirate Bay has had legal issues, been raided and taken down in the past. Has 4chan has any issues like this?
- inigyou 19d agoThe UK fined it £520,000 but has no way to enforce it.
- ben_w 19d agoIn fairness, this at most tells you the UK court system isn't party to any honeypotting. Despite the memes, the UK is not the 51st state, which is both why it was able to make the fine (1st Amendment doesn't have jurisdiction over the UK) and why it's not able to enforce it (the UK doesn't have jurisdiction over 4chan).
- GoblinSlayer 19d ago>(1st Amendment doesn't have jurisdiction over the UK) It's a matter of enforcement. And who would want to enforce 1st amendment?
- ben_w 19d agoNeither has the power to be enforced outside its own territory. The entirety of the US constitution carries zero weight to the court system of the nation that the founders of those United States, ahem, engaged in unlawful violent treason against, with the assistance of foreign powers (France, then Spain and the Dutch Republic). :P
- 0dayz 19d agoIt got raided once way back.
- phoghed 19d agoThat’s obviously when they delivered the honey, the plot thickens
- podocarp 19d agoIs the current pirate bay even still the original, or just a mirror or someone trying to mimic the old one?
- iririririr 19d agoit's very much the same and backed a political party at their home turf. tpb.party
- chadgpt3 18d agoIt's the original, but it's also turned to shit. There are much better piracy websites, and infinitely many ad-filled proxies.
