The pirate bay, the most censored website in the world, started by kids, run by people with problems with alcohol, drugs and money, still is up after almost 2 decades. Parlor and gab etc have all the money around but no skills or mindset. Embarrassing.

The most ironic thing is that TPBs enemies include not just the US government but also many European and the Russian one. Compared to gab/parlor which is supported by the current president of the US and probably liked by the Russian one too.

Seems a lot of people wants to learn more about the pirate bay. Here's an older documentary, tpb afk.

When tpb got threatened we didn't whine about it. We made a thing of it. When a company called web sheriff (for real) threatened to sue and we found their fax number and faxed this. Like 500 copies. Old tech made them run out of ink for more important faxes.

I'll end with my favorite one, a company was upset about fonts being available, they sent this.

Which obviously led to the only sane reply, to send this back.

In all honesty, the reason we did TPB was to bring freedom and take back control from a centralised system. The reason that Gab et al will fail is because they're just whining bitches that have only one ideology: egotism. Sharing is caring y'all.
