Can you not still use BitTorrent?

I don't like it much anyway, which is probably a good thing.

Yeah, I never used bit torrent of course! * hides box of torrent files *

According to ThePirateBay's website, it should be back up and running within a few days.

Well, sure. With the nature of the process, there will of course be no illegal or stolen content on those servers that were seized.
This had to have been more of a harassing action, than anything else, to relieve some of the pressure from powerful lobbies.

But it is pretty funny, when they pretend that they're all noble and just; when what they're doing is just helping people steal stuff.

They also say they're going to sue the Swedish authorities.

To put it bluntly it's called stealing and infringing intellectual property, to put it nicely however it's a way of sharing that helps others get stuff that are normally unavailable to them. I don't blame folks if they're using BT for personal use, but commercially pirating stuff and parading it as original items, that's what peeves me off.
