A rather inappropriate website has just made its debut that basically says “look, how easy it is to pirate”. It’s called “Let Me Pirate That For You,” and is modeled after the humorous “Let Me Google That For You” website. But instead of redirecting users to Google search results page, the website will redirect users to a search result page on The Pirate Bay torrent search engine.
Those who are clueless, this is how you use it: when a friend asks you where to download, say a movie, you type the movie name into http://lmptfy.com/ and send the generated link to your friend. When your friend opens the link, it will play a small animation showing him or her how to perform the search on The Pirate Bay, and then display the results on the actual The Pirate Bay website. The animation ends with a message: “Was that so hard?”
I have a feeling, the RIAA wouldn’t like this.

The company that acquired PirateBay, openinternet.se, has a dark secret. It takes five minutes to figure it out.
I was suspicious at how new the site was, and I remembered the WEIRD verdict in Sweden that said TPB had to be sold, not shut down. What is that about?!
So I WHOIS'd it and found out that TPB was acquired by a front-company for an anti-piracy ISP in Sweden that rants about how much copyrighted material is downloaded by "high school students."
TPB isn't a site I visit anymore, for obvious reasons. In my opinion any other torrent tracker is now much safer than TPB. Glad you read that! Be safe.
P.S. I am trying to do the lookup again and it looks like the front site was taken down. Red flags, people.
