The Pirate Bay remains accessible in Sweden... at least for now

30 November, 2015
While notorious file-sharing website The Pirate Bay has been blocked in several countries around the world, it will remain accessible in its home country of Sweden, at least for now that is. A Swedish court has ruled that it can't force ISPs to block the website.

AnonD-467404, 30 Nov 2015this news in GSMarena?. smells like a trap to someone. just... moreGsmaArena Blog is about technology in general and not just cell phones unlike the news section or the review section which both are for cell phones only (maybe tablet and smartwatches too).
Sorry for answering late but that is because I am reading these news late and I see no one answered your questions.

    To be honest with you guys , and not trying to defend pirate bay, it is a mistake to ban piratebay in the first place because most seeders advise to support companys and buy product, in my case when i could use piratebay i would use more as a trial of the game/ movie, so if i did like i would buy it and get that horrible feeling like omg i just spend 50 pounds on a horrible game... so really piratebay for most cases is helping business...

        This is stupid. I didn't see some movies in theatres when distributors decided not to provide them in my country so I grabbed them online and when I liked them, I HAD to have them - so I bought them on amazon. How can I buy some movies that I'm not sure I like without checking them first? If I want and like something, I buy it and pay in EUR and it doesn't matter how much it costs. If I don't like it, I don't buy it and don't watch it even when it's available via a free TV channel, period.

                  Internet usage will go down quite heavily if torrents are not available!
                  yes, it may have impacted the movie producers a bit but literally, the people who wants to see the movies in the theater, goes to the theater.. and the ones who don't wanna see the movies in theaters at all... they download it from torrent! what do they think? if people stop downloading from torrent, they will visit theatre? no they never will..!!!
                  same thing about games and other media products.. the ones who don't wanna spend, will really never spend no matter what! they will instead prefer not using those products instead of paying for it!

You see even though no direct relation with technology, site banning and such appeals do require technical knowledge and expertise. So may be this is the reason GSMArena shared this news.

                                        Well if the question is about copyright movies and music being distributed free of charge than majority of torrent sharing sites need to be blocked. Today, majority use of torrent is to access these free of cost. Now, it's the uploader who should be blamed and not the website. It's my point of view.
