The pirate bay is still up despite being taken down, is this now also a honeypot?

The Pirate Bay has had legal issues, been raided and taken down in the past. Has 4chan has any issues like this?

  • The UK fined it £520,000 but has no way to enforce it.

    • In fairness, this at most tells you the UK court system isn't party to any honeypotting.

      Despite the memes, the UK is not the 51st state, which is both why it was able to make the fine (1st Amendment doesn't have jurisdiction over the UK) and why it's not able to enforce it (the UK doesn't have jurisdiction over 4chan).

Is the current pirate bay even still the original, or just a mirror or someone trying to mimic the old one?
