posted: File-sharing site The Pirate Bay has said that it will adapt rather than die as it faces legal blocks in the UK.
On Monday the High Court ruled that the site facilitates copyright infringement.
It will decide in June whether ISPs must block UK customers from accessing the site.
In response, The Pirate Bay said it would use other methods for distributing content which would make it harder for its "enemies" to track.
The content industries, both film and music, have been taking a noticeably tougher line on pirates in recent months as they continue to lose profits because of those determined to get content free.
In November, the creative industries wrote to the UK's major ISPs asking them to block access to The Pirate Bay, following the successful closure of movie distribution site Newzbin 2.

I would be more broken up over piracy if it wasn't the worthless middle men publishers who add nothing to the universe outside of their own pockets who are really suffering the most.

posted: New distribution technologies will have little effect if the court decides that ISPs must block access to the site, although that in turn will not mean an end to piracy.
"The Pirate Bay may have outlived its piracy lifespan but is a small task to mirror the site or to copy the indices. Even if The Pirate Bay is closed down people will just have to type 'torrent' into Google to find page after page of links," said Mr Mulligan.
He believes that the content industries are likely to turn their attention to search engines in their ongoing battle to cut down on pirated content online. UK rights holders have already called for illegal content to be "forcibly demoted" in web searches.
"If the content industries get Google on board the problem disappears from the mainstream overnight," he said.
Pretty much, shut down search engine returns and many casual torrenters will be lost.

It's great, TPB has been a lightning rod for all faschist corporate lobbying since years, but thankfully the reality is there are 500 more anonymous trackers working great that don't get all this heat.
Plus USENET, plus all emerging file sharing technologies.
The end result trying to shut all these sites down / block their traffic is pretty dumb anyway.

I don't feel bad for them, but the artists are losing money too, especially independent ones that distribute their own material, and i do feel bad for them.

independent artists who distribute their own stuff should be more worried about sony than torrents.
if millionaires lose a couple grand a year from torrents, then consider it like paying taxes which im sure they cheat the hell out of paying
