Never used them either, really. Still a shame this is all happening.

They have plenty of servers overseas. They'll be fine so long as those countries don't also do the same as America.

If TPB ever dies somehow, another major site will pop up. These things just don't disappear like that. As long as the demand for pirated things stays, someone will always be around to supply them.

It's interesting, because more and more people are realizing that playing the BS game of "I just had this site and didn't know people would use it for piracy" may not be worth it anymore. I think that's not a bad thing.
But as you said, the fewer players there are in the piracy business, the more of an opportunity it becomes for someone who's willing to risk it and get in the game.

Save the entirety of TPB onto a flash drive! Their trackers don't matter anymore, you just need the magnet links. Which is, effectively speaking, connecting to just your peers instead of the trackers to get files, as far as I understand it.
