TPB Down… And sold???

As I sit down to have a look around my RSS feeds tonight I'm struck by one headline. First in one feed then in another. A short look around the intertubes confirms, TPB appears to have been sold to Swedish gaming company Global Gaming Factory X. Amazing that a name that is synonymous with illegal file sharing and copyright violation is set to be capitalised upon by a legitimate private business, and whats more, this business wants to make TPB legit.

I'd check the TPB blog for further info but the site appears to be non responsive for now at least. All that can be said about this so far is that it's getting immediate attention from a few corners of the interwebs and I'm sure the mainstream media will pick up on what should be an interesting story.

For now at least, http://www.finanztreff.de/kurse_einzelkurs_charts,i,666994,zeit,8.html, watch the GGFX investors dance like a Texas man who just struck oil!!!
