With lawsuits flying around from every angle, the owner of the once famed Suprnova.org, sloncek was forced to deliver a huge blow to the BitTorrent P2P scene by shutting down the website. Once viewed as a one stop shop for all your P2P needs, Suprnova's loss to the scene made a significant impact on file-sharing everywhere.
Such is the way of the Internet, many other sites that were similar in construction sprang up and many others gained valuable regular visitors, but few were able to rise to the notoriety that was held by Suprnova. A short time ago, rumors had flown around the Internet of those P2P rebels ThePirateBay acquiring the rights to Suprnova. Today, those rumors and early leaks have been confirmed. Suprnova.org has opened to the public in the form of an open public beta.
The new owners request that its visitors keep in mind that they are still in the growing stage and there just may be some issues from the initial startup, but they offer a rather interesting tongue-in-cheek reply to those who forced the site down in the first place.
"This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet and the future. y'arr!"
