Though it’s been raided by Swedish authorities, sued and just had its native Swedish domain piratebay.se shut down, Pirate Bay has yet to walk the plank, reported The Washington Post.

Even though the peer-to-peer file sharing site—which facilitates the illegal downloading of films and other media—lost its URL, its logo still sports the domains linked to the Pirate Bay’s many new homes, including Armenia.

The Pirate Bay co-founder, Fredrik Neij, is currently serving a one-year term in a Swedish prison for his involvement with Pirate Bay.

“Fredrik Neij has participated in the [copyright infringement] crimes that have been identified and he is the actual holder of the domain names. It is therefore no obstacle to confiscate domain names from him,” a Swedish district court ruled.   

At any rate, the logo sports the domains linked to the Pirate Bay’s many new homes: .mn (Mongolia), .gd (Grenada), .la (Laos), .am (Armenia), and .gs (South Georgia, a British island territory).
