It has been over five days, after The Pirate Bay's .GY domain was suspended by the authorities, and it had to move to Sweden. With the new address - thepiratebay.se, it looks like TPB can rest for a few days or may be months. 2013 has been the year of stormy weather and thunderstorms for The Pirate Bay ship.

The Pirate Bay - Bye Bye Sweden, Hello Greenland

Anticipating the suspension of the .SE domain in April 2013, The Pirate Bay decided to anchor their ship and operate from the frozen land of Greenland with .GL. However, the authorities shut down thepiratebay.gl in just 48 hours and TPB had to make a move.

Bye Greenland for being a bad host. The Pirate Bay got a new home in Iceland

After what happened in Greenland in April, TPB set up their shop with Iceland-based domain, thepiratebay.is.

However, a Swedish prosecutor filed a case to seize not just the Swedish-based domain but also the .IS domain.

Drat! The Pirate Bay had to move again.

Finally Sint Maarten

The Pirate Bay, tired, reached a Dutch constituent country named Sint Maarten and operated from May 2013 to December. Due to pressure from entertainment industry and a Dutch anti-piracy group, BREIN, the .SX domain was suspended.

Oh, Ascension Island. Nice!

The scenic Ascension Island welcomed The Pirate Bay on December 10. The website started operation with .AC domain. On December 12, they were asked to leave.

South America! Peru!

The Pirate Bay got the .PE domain but only for a week. They had to shut the shop and move.

Next stop - Guyana

On December 19, TPB made a one-day stop with .GY domain.

Sweden - Mommy, I am home.

The Pirate Bay changed its domain from piratebay.org to .SE in 2012.

On December 19, the file-sharing website is home. The .SE domain registry confirmed that it would not shut down the website without a valid court order.

What's next?

The Pirate Bay has 70 domains in reserve, so they can play this hopping game for a long time. Also, they are developing technology that would make the domain system "irrelevant."
