Popular Sweden-based BitTorrent tracker celebrates a milestone.
About a month ago The Pirate Bay, the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker site, celebrated the milestone of 23 million connected peers, and then even 25 million soon thereafter.
Now The Pirate Bay is celebrating a new milestone–it’s 5th anniversary (or so it thinks).
Their not sure of the exact date, whether it happened "some weeks or months ago," but it happened sometime recently and they want to observe this important occasion.
From a blog posting:
Happy birthday to us!
Some weeks or months ago (we’re not quite sure) we became 5 years old here at The Pirate Bay!
The official birth date of the site is not 100% sure. We’ve been discussing it back and forth the past week and decided that screw it, you don’t need to know which day. We’ll celebrate anyhow!
So, today let’s celebrate the birth of the system that has put people in the government out of jobs, the system that made the White House learn what a torrent is, the system that made George W Bush try to understand what ANAKATA meant, the system that not even corrupt cops can shut down! We’re so happy that you’re all here on our side, fighting for what we believe in!
So, From Sweden With Love — Hipp hipp hurra! Ett fyrfaldigt leve! Vi älskar er!
Congrats to the folks over at The Pirate Bay. May the next 5 years be just as successful.
5 years of greatness! Has been a hard one lets see what the next 5 bring.
