Is The Pirate Bay down (thepiratebay.sx)?

Pirate Bay or “The Pirate Bay” is not down. We are first to report that The Pirate Bay has moved from thepiratebay.sx (.se) to thepiratebay.ac (Ascension Island) and eventually to thepiratebay.pe (Update) ***UPDATE: Thepiratebay.gy. The domain registry Sint Maarten which is where thepiratebay.sx is registered appears to have been seized after being pressured by Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN to pay a fine of 25,000 euro per day to remain online.

Many internet users have commented on social media that The Pirate Bay website may be down due to recent arrest of the co-founder, and his remarks about wanting the website to be down. Some internet users even claim their Internet Service Provider (ISP) blocked the Pirate Bay website or that Google may have something to do with it. However, none of these are the reasons why people can not access ThePirateBay website.

The piratebay.sx has simply moved to thepiratebay.ac after having thepiratebay.sx seized by authorities. The new website appears to be a mirror of the other and The Pirate Bay states that they hope to remain on the domain for a long time.

You can also access PirateBay by visiting piratebay.org. ** A new update has forwarded thepiratebay.sx to thepiratebay.ac.
