A dozen Hollywood production companies have filed a new lawsuit against file-sharing Web site The Pirate Bay.
Columbia Pictures, Disney Enterprises, Universal Studios and 10 others are demanding the site's operators be fined and prevented from distributing TV-series including "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" and films such as "Batman."
The Pirate Bay has remained in operation despite guilty verdicts in a copyright trial in Sweden earlier this year against the site's operators, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde and Fredrik Neij. Carl Lundstrom, who financed the site, was also convicted in that case.
All were sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to pay a combined 30 million kronor ($4.1 million) in damages.

RIP Pirate Bay

well the site isn't dead yet. In fact a new company has bought it over.
So Either that news is old or those hollywood companies are suing the new owners.

the people they've mentioned in that article are now the former operators of the site. Not the new owners.

not that many free tracker sites available.
Most torrents in other sites have torrents that are tracked on piratebay.
Besides, if piratebay goes down, it wont be long for the other sites to go down as well.
