The Pirate Bay (sometimes abbreviated as TPB) is an online index of digital content of entertainment media and software.[1] Founded in 2003 by Swedish think tank Piratbyrån, The Pirate Bay allows visitors to search, download, and contribute magnet links and torrent files, which facilitate peer-to-peer, file sharing among users of the BitTorrent protocol.

On 9 December 2014, The Pirate Bay was raided by the Swedish police, who seized servers, computers, and other equipment.[27][28][29][30][31] Several other torrent related sites including EZTV, Zoink, Torrage and the Istole tracker were also shut down in addition to The Pirate Bay's forum Suprbay.org.[28] On the second day after the raid EZTV was reported to be showing "signs of life" with uploads to ExtraTorrent and KickassTorrents and supporting proxy sites like eztv-proxy.net via the main website's backend IP addresses.[32][33] Several copies of The Pirate Bay went online during the next several days, most notably oldpiratebay.org, created by isoHunt.[34][35]
The Pirate Bay allows users to search for Magnet links. These are used to reference resources available for download via peer-to-peer networks which, when opened in a BitTorrent client, begin downloading the desired content. (Originally,[45] The Pirate Bay allowed users to download BitTorrent files (torrents), small files that contain metadata necessary to download the data files from other users). The torrents are organised into categories: "Audio", "Video", "Applications", "Games", "Porn", and "Other".[46] Registration requires an email address and is free; registered users may upload their own torrents and comment on torrents. According to a study of newly uploaded files during 2013 by TorrentFreak, 44% of uploads were television shows and movies, porn was in second place with 35% of uploads, and audio made up 9% of uploads.[47] Registration for new users was closed in May 2019 following problems with the uploading of malware torrents.[48]
The team behind The Pirate Bay has worked on several websites and software projects of varying degrees of permanence.In 2007, BayImg, an image hosting website similar to TinyPic went online in June.[100][101]Pre-publication images posted to BayImg became part of a legal battle when Conde Nast's networkwas later allegedly hacked.[102][103]In July, "within hours after Ingmar Bergman's death", BergmanBits.com was launched, listing torrents for the director's films,[100][104][105] online until mid-2008.[106] In August, The Pirate Bay relaunched the BitTorrent website Suprnova.org to perform the same functions as The Pirate Bay, with different torrent trackers, but the site languished; the domain was returned to its original owner in August 2010, and it now redirects to TorrentFreak.tv.[107][108]Suprbay.org was introduced in August as the official forum for ThePirateBay.org and the various sites connected to it. Users can request reseeding of torrents, or report malware within torrent files or illegal material on ThePirateBay.org.[109][110]
In September 2008, the Swedish media reported that the public preliminary investigation protocols concerning a child murder case known as the Arboga case had been made available through a torrent on The Pirate Bay. In Sweden, preliminary investigations became publicly available the moment a lawsuit is filed and can be ordered from the court by any individual. The document included pictures from the autopsy of the two murdered children, which caused their father Nicklas Jangestig to urge the website to have the pictures removed.[154] The Pirate Bay refused to remove the torrent. The number of downloads increased to about 50,000 a few days later.[155] On 11 September 2008, the website's press contact Peter Sunde participated in the debate program Debatt on the public broadcaster SVT. Sunde had agreed to participate on the condition that the father Nicklas Jangestig would not take part in the debate. Jangestig ultimately did participate in the program by telephone, which made Sunde feel betrayed by SVT.[156] This caused The Pirate Bay to suspend all of its press contacts the following day.[157]
IsoHunt has since copied much of the original TPB database and made it accessible through oldpiratebay.org, a searchable index of old Pirate Bay torrents.[34][35][233] IsoHunt also released a tool called The Open Bay, to allow users to deploy their own version of the Pirate Bay website.[234] The tool is responsible for around 372 mirror sites.[235] Since 17 December 2014, The Pirate Bay's Facebook page has been unavailable.[230][236] On 22 December 2014, a website was resumed at the domain thepiratebay.se, showing a flip clock with the length of time in days and hours that the site had been offline, and a waving pirate flag.[237] From this day TPB was hosted for a period in Moldova,[237] on Trabia Network (Moldo-German company) servers. The Pirate Bay then began using the services of CloudFlare, a company which offers reverse proxy services.[238] On 1 January 2015, the website presented a countdown to 1 February 2015.[239][240] The website returned with a prominent phoenix logo displayed at the domain thepiratebay.se on 31 January 2015.[241]
