All domains of The Pirate Bay are down as it suffers a worldwide outage

The world’s number one torrent website, The Pirate Bay is facing a massive outage worldwide even as I write this article. The reasons for the outage are not known but there has to be a legal angle to it. After almost a week of losing its Hydra like domains, TPB had vested its faith in its evergreen ThePirateBay.se domain but as you might know it, the SE domain is under litigation in a Swedish court and all indications are that TPB might lose out on that domain.

As said above, the outage is massive and worldwide as pointed out by the website tracking service, IsItDownRightNow. According to Isitdownrightnow, two domains of TPB, ie .SE and .Org are down while .LA is working.

As said above, thepiratebay.la seems to be working and at present all TPB requests seem to be routed through this domain.

Further checking showed that thepiratebay.se was resolving to another TPB owned domain themobilebay.org. While some torrent users have reported that it is resolving to thepiratebay.ms domain. It seems that only .org and the chief .se domain have been down/hit by outage.

We are awaiting confirmation from TPB about the outage and will update the story as it goes.
