Pirate Bay could rise from ashes, countdown on website suggests

PanARMENIAN.Net - The original Pirate Bay could be set to rise from the ashes if a countdown on its website is anything to go by, Digital Spy said.

The timer suggests that the infamous torrent service will resume operations in roughly ten days' time, although the team behind the site have not officially confirmed what will happen when the clock has run down.

An image of the Pirate Bay battleship sailing towards a port labelled 'welcome home' also appears on the temporary site, suggesting new hosting has been found.

Pirate Bay was taken offline following Swedish police raids in December, but rival torrent service IsoHunt launched a faux version of the platform to fill the void.

It is believed that Pirate Bay operators from all over the world are behind the mooted relaunch, but it is yet to be confirmed what form the revived site will take.

The temporary website was uploaded via a server based in Moldova, according to TorrentFreak.
