A week after Swedish police shut down BitTorrent indexing site the Pirate Bay, torrent search site IsoHunt resurrected it in its entirety.

In a blog post, IsoHunt explains that, while it encourages Pirate Bay users to switch to IsoHunt (two sites are very similar in functionality), it has preserved the entire Pirate Bay site and put it up at the web address oldpiratebay.org.

"We, the Isohunt.to team, copied the base of the PirateBay in order to save it to the generations of users. Nothing will be forgotten. Keep on believing, keep on sharing," the post reads.

Restoring the Pirate Bay was not a very hard task, since an archive of the entire site has been available for download freely since Feb. 2013.

The new/old Pirate Bay now has a blueish hue, but other than that seems to be identical to the old site, which has been completely unavailable since the police raided its servers.

A couple of days after the shutdown, one of the site's cofounders, Peter Sunde, said he "doesn't care if the site stays down," claiming the new ownership has strayed from the original ideals behind the project.

A long-time thorn in the side of the entertainment industry, The Pirate Bay has been taken down several time in its past, but has always found a way to rebound back, switching several top level domains (TLDs) in the process.

It has not been kept down for a week in recent history, however.

Even if the site stays down forever, it's questionable that that will have any effect on piracy. A recent report by Variety claims that, after an initial deep following the site's shutdown, piracy levels have rebounded and stayed pretty much the same as before.
