Remember how Popcorn Time returned from the brink of death with a new website that allows users to stream pirated movies and television shows directly from their web browser? Well, the same technology that enables that steaming has been turned into a browser plug-in that allows you so stream co

I hope Gottfrid Svartholm enjoyed his thirty seconds of freedom, because after the Pirate Bay co-founder was released from Danish prison for the first time in several years, the Swedish man was immediately re-arrested by police. It’s not like this was a big surprise for Svartholm, as he was in
