Direct link if you prefer to avoid the tabloid: https://thepiratebay.se/blog/227

Also be aware that this is a misleading hoax (or worse). They had a "kopimi" sign on the page forever. "kopimi (copyme), symbol showing that you want to be copied."

Here is the last copy in archive.org http://web.archive.org/web/20130128163826/http://thepirateba... . See the icon and its link at the very bottom.

Please do not give misleading hype like this any further coverage.

edit: I swear, the icon was not on the live page a minute ago.



While mitigating in a law suit, I would not rely on a image as an copyright license. It doesn't actually say what content is covered by it (every link? css? javascript? images? ...). Wikipedia describe it as something like CC0, but is unsourcesed and thus nothing I would rely on for legal advice.


I just had a quick glance, the Kopimi image only seems to be in the footer of the homepage.


Ah, that explains why I got so confused. Thanks!
