Things dont look good for piratebay

[mongo]

TPB is just a search engine, what's available through it is up to its users. One of the site's admins has made a research and found that 70%-80% out of 1000 seeds are legal stuff: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/02/pirate-bay-survey-says-that-80-of-our-torrents-are-legal.ars . Why TBF must be closed down then while a search engine like Google doesn't have to, even if you can find pirated stuff with it as well? Does its name ("The Pirate Bay") make it illegal?

TPB isn't just a search engine. TPB also hosts the .torrent files and provides a tracker.
