The Pirate Bay Founders Go Legit With BayFiles 151

An anonymous reader writes "The founders of The Pirate Bay, possibly the best-known BitTorrent tracking service in existence, are going legit with a new file-sharing site which they claim will adhere to all copyright rules and takedown requests. BayFiles, as the new service is named, isn't BitTorrent powered. Instead, the site borrows its method of operation from the likes of Megaupload and RapidShare: a user selects a file and uploads it to the site via their web browser, after which it becomes available for anyone to download, assuming they have the link."

wow, it's amazing that the note didn't made it to prime-time news here... Actually it's not that amazing taking into account that the TV Network behind that show has a vast amount of media handling power.

Thanks for the link, I was able to find a few more articles discussing that with the information there (nothing in any "big" newspaper though) =/
