Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens, soft media users 1520111, Coje_He for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, September 21, the Pirate Bay (The Pirate Bay) is a famous BT website created by a group of hackers and activists in 2003 to share pirated resources to demonstrate the "rebellious spirit" of the site.

The site has a turbulent history and has repeatedly clashed with law enforcement, but it is still in service today and celebrates its 20th anniversary.

▲ Pirate Bay in 2003, a Swedish organization called Piratbyr å n opened a BitTorrent Tracker (Pirate Bay) based on the BitTorrent protocol. At that time, the group simply declared that the website was "here, you can download and share games, movies, CDs, TV programs, and so on."

The Pirate Bay was first launched in Mexico, and a few months later, the site moved to Sweden and was hosted on a laptop with a Pentium III 1GHz chip and running 256MB, which belonged to a member of the organization named Fredrik Neij.

Torrentfreak Pirate Bay, a foreign ▲ source, initially planned to create the first "public file sharing network" in Sweden, but in the following years, the site gradually became a "symbol of global file sharing".

As the content on the site was mainly pirated, many countries put pressure on Sweden to take action, and then the Pirate Bay server was raided, and the site was shut down for the first time on May 31, 2006, but because the site was backed up in advance, the site came back to life three days later.

In 2014, the Pirate Bay website server in Stockholm was raided again and the site disappeared for several weeks, but then the site was quietly launched and continues to this day.

Spud17, the administrator of the Pirate Bay, previously posted a commemorative message on the Pirate Bay Forum. CTOnews.com learned after inquiry that the website has been replaced with the 20th Anniversary Logo to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Pirate Bay.
