This isn't good, that America is starting to heavy into the war against torrents, and the MPAA is going crazy trying to fine ppl millions of dollars. I just found this article from torrentfreak.com, and it is bad news for The Pirate Bay. They might start losing traffic if stuff like this keeps happening.

As of this weekend, Yahoo started to filter some of Pirate Bay’s pages. For some mysterious reason, several pages from the tracker disappeared from Yahoo’s index. Unintentionally or not, a search for “The Pirate Bay” doesn’t show a link to the homepage of the popular BitTorrent tracker.

pirate bayFiltering or blocking the Pirate Bay is beginning to become a trend. Little over a week ago, a Danish court ordered the ISP "Tele2"; to block its customers access to The Pirate Bay. Soon after that the Kuwait government decided to do the same, and now Yahoo is also censoring the Internet.

In response to the news, Pirate Bay co-founder Brokep told TorrentFreak: “It’s dangerous to trust a company like Yahoo! when they filter the searches. It’s a new China, but this time Yahoo is the dictator. Yahoo should let the governments decide, not themselves. It’s dangerous when companies take the law into their own hands.”
