The Pirate Bay to Take On YouTube, Hulu with The Video Bay

Watch out, Hollywood -- another threat to your profits appears to be setting sail and headed in your direction. A site called The Video Bay aims to make pirated TV shows and Hollywood movies available in hi-def quality for streaming through your Web browser -- no hefty downloads required. The site, reportedly in development by the people behind the controversial site The Pirate Bay, is aiming to compete with Hulu and YouTube. As far as I can tell, the new venture isn't bothering with any cumbersome legal issues such as copyrights and content licences.

Sorry if I am dumb, but how can they?

They bribe the prison stewards with free film downloads...

First of all, they're not actually in prison yet, I think it's a couple of weeks yet. There's more people involved than just the owners running the site, most of it is automated but there's a lot of people behind the scenes who weren't involved in the court case.

I don't quite understand their motives, The Video Bay will cost them an awful lot of money and The Pirate Bay's long standing argument has been that they don't host copyright content, just link to it. However now they're actually going to be hosting it?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a venture too far which will make them bankrupt or in prison for even longer.

TPB is way over-rated anyway, there's better out there.

Haha, Go for it!

Good on them! haha.. Watch it be über awesome haha
