Dude, this was a (really well executed) joke! It should be our responsibility to help keep this shit going.
Yes, let's make internet freedom a joke. But we already have anonymous for that. Edit: The real tragedy is the people excusing NK so they can have their way. I'm not saying they are dumb, just unlucky at thinking. Edit2: No defense of hackivists making a mockery of themselves? How much does TPB make?
Now it seems they have also added fake lag to TCP port 80. hlds@machine:~$ tcptraceroute -f 128 -m 128 thepiratebay.se 80 Selected device venet0, address 5.9.249.8, port 41774 for outgoing packets Tracing the path to thepiratebay.se (194.71.107.15) on TCP port 80 (www), 128 hops max 128 thepiratebay.org (194.71.107.15) [open] 751.198 ms 735.700 ms 767.937 ms This wasn't the case an hour ago.

WHOIS tells you where an IP is supposed to be located, but BGP determines where the IP is actually located. They don't have to agree and both can be hacked/spoofed.
Hmm, isn't the Korean subnet allocation fixed? If an IP falls in that range, doesn't it belong to the Korean ISP? How can someone be assigned that IP by someone other than the ISP who owns it?

The LA Times quoted a post from Hacker News: http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-pirate-b...
Now I'm just going to tell my mum I'm in the LA Times.
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
From the discussion there it looks like the real host is rrbone UG (haftungsbeschraenkt) Leibnizstr. 8a 44147 Dortmund GERMANY https://www.rrbone.net/
