The Pirate Bay Is Back Online, Properly

[wraggster]

About a month ago, we discussed news (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/14/12/22/1720239/pirate-bay-domain-back-online) that the Pirate Bay domain name was back online. This story mentioned a timer, which supposedly showed the time since the police raid. I didn't notice at the time, but a more recent check showed this counter was counting down, not up, with a time set to reach zero at the end of January. Sometime around a week ago, the waving pirate flag video changed to a graphic of an orange phoenix, and a disabled search box showed up. I've been watching the site since, and now, about 12 hours before the timer was to reach zero (http://venturebeat.com/2015/01/31/the-pirate-bay-is-back-online-after-almost-two-months/), the site is back up (http://thepiratebay.se/), complete with searches.
