Recently I learned a reason the most popular BitTorrent Index is still online is because of cloudflare and easydns.com
https://who.is/whois/thepiratebay.org
Obviously cloudflare could never host the site, it probably redirects the users to the servers that host it. Yet for some reason the domain has not been seized by authorities, but like the FBI did it with a Nintendo Switch ROM Site ?.
If you are wondering why I am asking is because of a ROM site concept I have been thinking for the past 9 months (image redirect to my rentry page)
By the way, you don’t have to mention such service in public, you can always send me a private message!
The Pirate Bay used to be taken down fairly regularly back in the early 2000s. A number of political and legal wins changed that.
