Internet & Networking 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.

They communicate as if somehow they ‘own’ the Pirate Bay community and can move them elsewhere to their whim. The idea that buying a pub somehow buys you the punters is naîve at best (especially when the punters only went there for the illegal activities and you’ve openly said that it’s your intention to clean that up).
