The Pirate Bay: We Shall Fight on the Beaches!

And all the other dudes get is a beautiful t-shirt?

Get It

STOCKHOLM (Rixstep) -- The Pirate Bay website is fully functional again. So are Baywords, Bayimg, Slopsbox, et al. All are back online.

The Pirate Bay crew have also issued an official press release. It follows here in full. And in case you're a bit sleepy today: this is a direct takeoff on a famous speech by Winston Churchill. Enjoy.

The Pirate Bay regarding Stockholms Tingsfel
2009-08-25 14:25

We have, ourselves, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Internets, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

Even though large parts of Internets and many old and famous trackers have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Ifpi and all the odious apparatus of MPAA rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the ef-nets and darknets, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Internets, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the baywords.org, we shall fight on the /. and on the digg, we shall fight in the courts; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, the Internets or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Anon Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in Cerf's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Signed;

The Pirate Bay Crew - Now until needed.

With Love: The Pirate Bay

There's also a new t-shirt entering production and available soon through the TPB store.
