Isohunt launches new initiative called The Open Bay

The past weeks have been tumultuous for the owners and users of  The Pirate Bay. The owners of IsoHunt recently launched their own version at theoldpiratebay, shortly after The Piratebay was raided and shutdown by the Swedish police. Now the folks at Isohunt have another trick up their sleeve to keep the memory of The Piratebay alive.

Only moments ago they launched their most recent initiative called OpenBay. Through the use of a large database dump of 8 million torrents (while the original pirate bay only had 3 million)  and a few scripts, users can create and manage a clone of the large torrent site. openbaylogo

While running a clone of The Piratebay may sound great, keep in mind that there may be legal restrictions in your area. So before you go ahead and start your own clone, verify with your server host whether hosting a clone is allowed. As The Piratebay has proven, running a torrent site is not without risk.
