Pirate Bay Goes Down Again (Updated)
Exactly two weeks after the long-awaited comeback, The Pirate Bay appears to be in trouble again.
It’s currently not clear what’s causing the problems. There might be a hardware issue, routing problem or a software glitch, issues that have occurred many times in the site’s history.
However, after the prolonged downtime earlier this year many people are now fearing the worst.
The site’s domain name is working properly and the nameservers appear to be setup correctly too, so those variables can be ruled out.
The Pirate Bay currently displays a CloudFlare error message suggesting that TPB’s servers are unresponsive.
TorrentFreak reached out to The Pirate Bay’s admin and we will update this article if we hear back.
While the main site is down, many of the Pirate Bay’s clones and copies that became popular during TPB’s recent seven week outage are still accessible.
Update: Pirate Bay’s .onion address still works (http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/). This means that the site is accessible over the Tor network, including the Pirate Browser.
Update: TPB is back after roughly 12 hours. The admin informed us that there was a hosting issue, this has been resolved now.

TV News Explains CDs in 1985
1985 marked the mainstream acceptance of CDs for music in the U.S.—that year, the Dire Straits album Brothers in Arms became the first CD to sell one million copies. In the TV news segment (apparently from 1985) below, we're introduced to a then-new technology and we meet some music fans who embrace it. We also hear about the tantalizing possibility of putting data on CDs. Roll back three decades and enjoy:
And yes, that's TV anchor Mort Crim at the very beginning. Will Ferrell has said that Crim was a primary source for his Anchorman character, Ron Burgundy.
Now, let the vinyl vs. CD wars commence in the comments!
Bystander’s video shows cops shooting, killing fleeing man
Washington state police are investigating a video uploaded to YouTube that captures the death of a man shot repeatedly by police.
The video, taken by a bystander, surfaced Wednesday, a day after the Tuesday shooting death of Antonio Zambrano-Montes, 35.
Pasco Police Department officers were called about 5pm to respond to a report that a man was throwing rocks at a crowded intersection in the town of Pasco, according to the Department Chief Bob Metzger. Two officers were hit by rocks. A Taser did not subdue the man, who had a prior police assault conviction and served six months' jail time for it.
