While the Pirate Brand now is a joke for Generation X and Y, it may become the next VERY hot thingy for Baby Boomers!

Seniors will soon be able to enjoy all the naughty Pirate fun in a safe and pleasant way -- and maybe even make a buck or two!

Listen to Pirate Captain Pandeya:

Pandeya believes he’ll be able to stay the mutiny once the community — which he describes as the “key asset” in the announced purchase — fully understands what the new Pirate Bay will be offering.

That would be money, for starters. The revamped Bay will be the first BitTorrent site to pay members cold hard cash for seeding the paid content they download — a sweetener that Pandeya said will give the site an edge even over established pay-content outlets.

No more bad-boy-behaviour, of course:

The free video games, pre-release Hollywood blockbusters and gigabyte-length discographies that currently dominate the site’s [Pirate Bay's] most-popular list will be gone, replaced by whatever content the movie, music and software industries deign to sell — yes, sell — on the site they’ve been battling for years.
