This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
First Pirate Bay server on display at the Computer Museum in Linköping, Sweden, as part of the exhibit on 50 years of file sharing.
Post was in Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gamertechsetup/permalink/1380436779201759/
the beige CDROM drive on a black panelled case is peak turn-of-the-millennium PC. Not to mention the airflow holes that are practically an afterthought.
I thought the same thing. I remembering upgraded to a light-scribe drive which was cool. I thought it would take off more but USB keys killed it.
The Pirate Bay itself is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, so this is a very fitting exhibit.
Wow 20 years. I feel old.
Any exclusive offers for the anniversary? /s
100% off of everything!
Pirate bay still in operation?
Yeah.
That's really cool that someone thought to preserve this and put it on display in a museum. It's like a modern historical artifact from the golden age of computing.
I loved their old email responces to DMCA takedown requests (before US copyright law magically, retroactively, applied to Sweden).
Who created piratebay?
I wonder if it was donated by the founders, or recuperated from seized evidence maybe?
I would like to know that too.
Now do Suprnova! Those early, end of Kazaa days were magic.
What an amazing piece of history!
Reminds me of my first PC
