    Perhaps the proper word is "shut down." Some countries may ban websites but not shut them down.

    My thoughts on this is that it takes time to actually shut down these sites entirely. I think it has to go through a court process.

    Maybe because some countries in Europe are still democracies.

    But lobbies are trying hard to bring everything down, really.

    They were meant to ban it in the UK in April, but then nothing happened as I was still using it in June.

    Maybe because people want to share their files and if people want this then the giant corporations can suck big fat penis.Nothing can be done about that no matter how long we discuss it.

    I read because they put their servers in Sweden, so no one can shut them down because Swedish law doesn't consider giving information about the location of illegal stuff is illegal. That's basically what piratebay does, telling people where to get pirated stuff but never host the files itself. At least until Sweden change its law
