Yesterday, the Pirate Bay went down following pressure from the RIAA, which threatened to slap TPB's hosting provider with huge fines.

We predicted The Pirate Bay's downfall ages ago, but it still hasn't happened. Things have been looking grim for the file-sharing service for a while. First, there was the lawsuit from the entertainment industry that left the Pirate Bay's team scattered and struggling to stay the course it charted for itself. Then the news that the entire service was to be sold (the sale never happened) to a Swedish Gaming Company seemed to have scattered the Pirate Bay's fans, too.

All these storms have come and gone and the service still stands, seemingly more resilient than ever.

The Pirate Bay has switched hosts and is online again. This time the site is hosted by the Swedish Pirate Party. “We got tired of Hollywood’s cat and mouse game with the Pirate Bay so we decided to offer the site bandwidth. It is time to take the bull by the horns and stand up for what we believe is a legitimate activity,” said the Pirate Party's Rick Falkvinge in a statement.

TPB itself was, as usual, in the mood for mocking the RIAA. Here's the entire text of today's message from The Pirate Bay's blog:

"PLZ LEARN: TPB CANT BE SHUT DOWN LOL! AS U MITE HAS READ OR NOTICD, PEEPS ONCE AGAIN R TRYIN 2 SHUT US DOWN. DIS WILL NOT SUCCED, LOL.

We'll leave it up to you to decipher the hidden message.
