How come a new "popular" torrent site doesnt rise up?

>are torrents finally done?
just go to /ptg/

Dmca letters worked to get normies away from torrents. The Pirate Bay trials worked to keep others from attempting to become the next PB.

Literally just peerblock or dont download anything popular and boom. Its that fucking easy.

>the pirate bay trials
what do you mean?

>>58938737
The founders went to fucking prison and they were Swedish for fucks sake. One of them had to be extradited from Cambodia. No one wants to be the next Pirate Bay.

I guess thats why no more big sites are coming up. It's a shame too because I know people who just used torrents as a way to get microsoft products like powerpoint/office/excel for free.

This. Except going to the thread is actually enough to get you banned from some trackers. Getting into private trackers IS the solution, though.

Well, hopefully this will help increase the usage of free software like the GIMP, LibreOffice, etc.

wtf kind of trackers do you use?

>>58938904
Doesnt help people who have to use that stuff for school though

yep

>>58938904
More like Google Docs. People who can't afford MS Office are quite happy using Docs. Hell, my school gives me free Office and I still use Docs instead of Word for everything except my resume.

KAT spent a lot of money improving its site/system to become the most popular public torrent site.

KAT successors havent spent as much ...yet.

Even a new KAT has arisen but they need to invest a lot to be half the site the old KAT was. It will take several years for a KAT successor to arise

just use the torrent search tool on qbittorrent
