The strangest story from yesterday came in the form of The Pirate Bay moving to North Korea<\/a>. The site said that it had routed through the country’s ISP after being invited to by the government. It seemed a little suspect, and the site said just as much today. <\/p>\n

In a statement released on The Pirate Bay’s Facebook<\/a>, the site’s team said that they never moved to North Korea and never would. The entire “hoax” was done for the “lulz:”<\/p>\n

Today, we’ve all learned something.<\/p>\n

We hope that yesterdays little hack proved that we know the internet better than our enemies. Since about 40% of the entire internets traffic consists of torrents enabled by us, you can almost say that we ARE the internets. Fuck with the internets and we’ll ridicule you (points at MAFIAA with a retractable baton) until you beg for mercy.<\/p>\n

We’ve hopefully made clear (once again) that we don’t run TPB to make money. A profit hungry idiot (points at MAFIAA with a retractable baton) doesn’t tell the world that they have partnered with the most hated dictatorship in the world. We can play that stunt though, cause we’re still only in it for the fuckin lulz and it doesn’t matter to us if thousands of users disband the ship. <\/p>\n

We’ve also learned that many of you need to be more critical. Even towards us. You can’t seriously cheer the “fact” that we moved our servers to bloody North Korea. Applauds to you who told us to fuck off. Always stay critical. Towards everyone!<\/p>\n

10 years and still running.
\nWe are Schr\u00f6dingers site and it’s up to us whether we want to stay alive or not, or both.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In retrospect, The Pirate Bay moving to North Korea made little sense. It would have been kind of funny if true though. <\/p>\n

The team wasn’t lying, however, when they said they were kicked out of Norway. So now The Pirate Bay will be on the lookout for somewhere else to drop anchor. We’ll let you know when they do. <\/p>\n
