It recently emerged that the Pirate Bay has been acquired by listed
software company Global Gaming Factory. Since this development, one man
has suggested scraping all of the Pirate Bay's torrents over to a new
tracker. Then Mininova and all the other indexes using the Pirate Bay
tracker could change their listings to point to this fresh tracker,
explained J J King in his article Playing Whack-A-Mole With Data: The
Pirate Bay Lives On.
Following this data scraping, the party involved in the action could then create a new index of these torrents, acting as an equivalent to the Pirate Bay, Mr King explained. He claimed that this process would simply be a copy-and-paste job. Mr King admitted, however, that there could be privacy issues if someone were to carry out such a project.
According to Global Gaming Factory, the Pirate Bay is one of the 100 most visited websites in the world. Talking about the acquisition, chief executive officer of Global Gaming Factory Hans Pandeya said: "In order to live on, the Pirate Bay requires a new business model, which satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users and the judiciary. Content creators and providers need to control their content and get paid for it. File sharers need faster downloads and better quality."
Global Gaming Factory also recently announced that it had agreed to acquire the shares in Peerialism, a software technology company with its origin in KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Swedish Institute of Computer Science. The acquiring firm revealed that the deal will only go through if it can obtain financing for it. It is looking to issue new shares so that it can gain the necessary funds. The firm expects the acquisition to be completed in August this year, however.
