Users to be paid for sharing on new Pirate Bay – Tech Products & Geek News | Geek.com

And what's so imposing about private trackers? They can be shut down just like public ones. And decentralization just turns it into limewire all over again. Centralization is what makes torrents effective.
I started another thread which contains a link backing up my claims.

TPB as a domain will be a "legit" site. The operations of the former TPB as a purveyor of illegal material will continue.
