The Pirate Bay has confirmed that all ******* files being shared by more than 10 people will be deleted on February 29. The decision is causing a small panic among the site’s users, but in reality little will change as all files will remain available through magnet links. The Pirate Bay crew told *******Freak that this is merely a “step forward in technology” and confirmed that the site is here to stay. Instead of deleting all ******* files at once, the Pirate Bay crew will start with all files that have more than 10 peers. This is to guarantee that people will still be able to download less popular files, which tend to start slower through magnets. While there are fears that this is the end of The Pirate Bay, nothing could be further from the truth. For users of the site the upcoming switch is expected to go smoothly. People will be able to download all files as usual, but instead of using a .******* file downloads will be initiated through a magnet link. The actual content of the .******* file will then be downloaded from other people instead of the Pirate Bay’s servers. Although it might take a little longer for less popular downloads to get started, all files will remain available. Also, users will still be able to upload .******* files, which will be converted into magnet links by The Pirate Bay. The Pirate Bay team told *******Freak that the transition to a magnet site is “a step forward in technology,” and one that will make the site more resistant to being shut down.

Oh. It looks like most people will be forced to buy albums.

Oh, okay.
That's fine.

Kickass*******s>>>

It's not as drastic as you think. It just means they won't host anything themselves, but *******s rely on peer-to-peer sharing anyway.

Honestly, Spotify just needs to step up it's game in the U.S. and it could really dominate. Being able to access an artist's discography with 1 click >>>>>>>>> having to ******* it, fix the tags, realize one of the tracks skips, realize you don't have a bonus track, etc. etc.

You just have to press the "Magnet-link" button instead. How very difficult.
