The Pirate Bay has issued a warning about the rise of copycat proxy websites that enable access to TPB since a UK court ruled in favour of banning TPB.
They stated in a Pirate Bay blog that “A lot of proxies in support of TPB are popping up, which is a good thing. But not all of these proxies are nice”
” We’ve noticed at least 3 sites that are tricking users to buying access or similar. We do not condone this behaviour, The Pirate Bay is a free service, take care and don’t get tricked”. Later on in the statement they stated that ,
“We want to encourage you to look for a reliable source on where to find a good proxy that works for you.”
All this even further adds fuel to the debate whether it was worth the UK high court while issuing a ban against The Pirate Bay in the fight against illegal file sharing.
