I honestly think that the FBI is breathing down the admins' necks. Being as this place used to be the place to go for zoo porn and underage girls masturbating on stickam (r.i.p. in peace ;_;), I'm pretty sure that they've been threatened more than once about being taken to a federal court over this. And the FBI intruding on this place isn't anything new; many undercover agents browse these very boards to find pedophiles and arrest them (and yes, there have been investigations involving motherless users posting and trading illegal content here). This place died the second it grew popular, and no one is brave enough to start a new site (doubt it would even get popular anyway).

tl:dr the feds killed this place. Don't blame the admins because they were pressured and most likely threatened to delete content. It's a miracle this place is still around today considering the shit that's been posted here.

What do you expect, when you're hosted on a .com domain? Seriously, move your servers to something not ICANN regulated - and don't pipe up with your whiny bullshit that everything is ICANN regulated - it's not. They have absolutely no jurisdiction over a country's own laws, especially not economically challenged countries. Piratebay, anyone?

funny you say that. because they do have power over the 12 server nodes in the U.S.

Thus, they have power over what is and isn't allowed. DO WHAT I SAY or I will deny your site ip to the servers.

Duh...

The piratebay is blocked on certain ISPs following applications to senior courts under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988, which (unsurprisingly, given its title) implements a legal framework for copyright on original work as agreed as the UK is a signatory to the Berne convention.

It was not blocked under the orders of the government. The UK government and its ministers have no power to do so, so any block they attempted would have been quashed (and probably prohibited) as ultra vires if an application for judicial review had been made.

The block is not only ineffective, it also uses a mechanism never designed for a high volume site like TPB, and is not in any case universal - applications have to be made by copyright holders to the courts against specific ISPs, so plenty of them don't block anything.

I don't agree with censorship, so use an ISP that doesn't censor and if I wanted copyright violations could get to TBP. Most people buy their internet provision on price, or getting it bundled with their telephone or television service as an afterthought, so put up a with a rubbish service because they like to think they are getting a "good deal".

I can only assume the poster above me lives in a country with no functioning legal system, since they regard the UK as "douche" for having one.

"(r.i.p. in peace ;_;)"???

You do know 'R.I.P.' means 'Rest In Peace', right?
