Mercurial Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) the pirate bay said they aquired ebay hardy har har. In a bid on Auction site eBay, for the site of eBay.com itself, Pirate Bay (TPB) has come out as the official winner. We saw that eBay was up for sale on their own site and since we have a long going law suit against them for abuse of our trademark name "pirat(ebay)", we wanted to be pragmatic and just use our immense profits to buy them. This will hopefully make us spend less time with the lawsuit. TPB will use the tools from eBay to make a better rating system for torrents. Then TPB will divide eBay up into smaller companies and sell to the highest bidders. We see no use for an auction site since most stuff is available for free. eBay.com will in the future be redirected to the pirate bay.org, and hopefully this will put TPB into the top 5 internet sites today. Please return to this blog for further updates later. Edited April 1, 2011 by Hakidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Rockpapershotgun and it's commenters are doing pretty well. They've dug up some articles from their founding year. Commenters are just going with the flow and then some. If you've got an account there n want to lark about for the day I'd go hang out there. Should appeal to fans of The Witcher. (also it's still advertising the game, not bad) And Blizzard jsut dumped their load: http://eu.blizzard.com/diablo3/media/horadrapp/ http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/game/dungeon-helper/ http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/game/dungeon/tomb-of-immortal-darkness http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/console/ Gotta love Crabby.
