This smells like anti-union astroturf.

The fine post is 131 words long and includes absolutely no links to articles about exactly what's happening. It's just an inflammatory headline and three paragraphs that are extremely short on citations.

The Pirate Bay Tops 10 Million Users 300

Posted by kdawson on Sunday January 27, 2008 @01:31AM from the my-word-it's-a-convoy dept.

An anonymous reader suggests we go over to Slyck for news that The Pirate Bay has cracked 10 million users. The publicity from the upcoming court case probably helped. "Today, The Pirate Bay asserts itself as the self-proclaimed 'World's Largest Tracker' by topping over 10 million peers, while managing over 1 million torrents. Peter Sunde of The Pirate Bay told Slyck, 'We're very happy to be part of all of this and we hope our users keep sharing those files!... And we're looking to break 20 million as well.'"
