The story around The Pirate Bay acquisition seems to be developing fast. The torrent search engine was bought by Global Gaming Factory yesterday, and they promised to build a legal P2P distribution network where content providers and copyright holders get compensated. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, GGF's Hans Pandeya detailed the business plan they have in mind for TPB.

I suspect the buyers are not fully understanding of how torrents work...
The whole premise here was that TPB had no actual content, it was just a tracker+searchengine - so all they've purchased is a front-end on a technology that has no center... I can't help but feel like they were misled, or at least seriously delusioned.
