Internet & Networking "The Pirate Bay has been urging users not to abandon ship following yesterday's announcement that a Swedish internet cafe software firm planned to buy the BitTorrent site for $7.8m. The site has been flooded with account deletion requests from angry users griping that TPB had sold out to Global Gaming Factory X."

Time will tell if the new owners are trustworthy, if yes the users will return.

If the new business model doesn't revolve around users being able to leech as much copyrighted content as they want without paying for it, then The Pirate Bay is done. If these people actually have to start paying for stuff, they'll just migrate somewhere else.
