The Pirate Bay has stood the test of time and even legal disputes by being one of the best torrent sites. There may have been several downtimes in the past, but it really did not take long before it was up and running again.

The Pirate Bay, however, may not be able to withstand the tight security measures set up by Microsoft for its Windows 10 operating system. This may also hold true for other torrent sites, if they have not been shut down permanently by the authorities in the past couple of weeks, Torrent Freak reported.

TPB is still up and running as of Nov. 9. New users can still register, download and post comments on the site; and TPB has also remained popular among the rest of the torrent sites. Nevertheless, this may not be for long with the Windows 10. The users of Microsoft's latest operating system are mostly concerned whether The Pirate Bay and other similar websites and applications will be allowed by the operating system.

Microsoft, the Redmond-based tech giant, is among the key players in creating a secured system and who are against copyright infringement activities. The previous operating system by Microsoft was one of the most pirated copies in the world. Recently, according to several users of Windows 10, it no longer allowed access to sites such as TPB, Kickass torrents, and several more file-sharing sites, Yibada reported.

Microsoft is not saying a word about the security feature that blocks torrent-related activities, but additional reports also include users who have experienced their torrent files magically disappearing. That is, right after upgrading to the latest Microsoft platform.

Among the companies locked in the legal battle against TPB are Warner Music and Sony Music. An internet service company has also been involved in a lawsuit out to block TPB.

YIFY and Popcorn Times have been brought down for good, while another known torrent site, Kickass Torrents, is having its internal issues.

The Pirate Bay is now where most users go for all their torrent needs.
