Keep to the Code: Pirate Bay to Delve into Streaming Video

The Pirate Bay team has confirmed in their blog that they are most definitely building a streaming video site. While the details remain sketchy for this latest project, it is certain that Sweden-based The Pirate Bay, known for its heavily publicized legal issues and prosecution for pirated content, is essentially in the process of making a YouTube competitor. It’s largely anticipated because of the copyright concerns that it won’t have to deal with (that’s the hope, at least), that would require The Pirate Bay to constantly pull videos from being shown on the site. The URL for The Pirate Bay’s upcoming streaming video network, thevideobay.org, indicates that the project is very much under wraps, and is open only to developers and beta testers.
