It's fake but his analysis is wrong. TPB is still somewhere in Europe. Otherwise you couldn't have 50ms RTT to thepiratebay.se TCP port 80 from within Europe. I explained here how they do it http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5319720

This will be disappointing to some of the more confused HNers.

hmm? The TPB announcement, didn't say that they have taken up the offer made to them by NK(it clearly says, they are invited), and I'm sure, its not a easy and quick march to NK. They are hosted in perhaps, in Spain & Norway, as they say so.

but yeah, the title of the other thread is wrong.

Some of the reasoning skills on display in that other thread beggar the imagination.

This is the reason why I read HN and not some regular news media. Here you can't write bullshit, there will be a repost within a short amount of time, describing what really happened.

From the discussion there it looks like the real host is

rrbone UG (haftungsbeschraenkt)

Leibnizstr. 8a

Not surprising if it's Cambodia, since that's where Fredrik Neij went when people dealt him too much shit in Europe. Source: TBP AFK.

Dude, this was a (really well executed) joke! It should be our responsibility to help keep this shit going.
