The fight against piracy intensifies with one of The Pirate Bay's popular domains dealing with the consequences.

TheMobileBay.org, the mobile version of the torrent site, has been suspended by the site's registrar, just like how it was for previous domains. But just when users thought that the mobile-friendly torrent site can no longer be used, another one pops up.

The suspension of the mobile domain comes shortly after the shutdown of other domains, including .LA, .GD, .VG and .MN, according to Torrent Freak in a report on Jan. 28. However, it seems that the torrent site is not totally gone after all.

MyTechBits reported on Monday that TheMobileBay.org is here to stay, but it takes on a different domain name, TheMobileBay.cc. The report added that this site is based on Cocos Islands.

It remains to be seen how well this new domain works, but prior to the revival of the mobile torrent site, smartphone and tablet users struggled with their visit to TheMobileBay.

With TheMobileBay, users are redirected to mobile-friendly versions of different The Pirate Bay domains. But when it was no longer operating, users were taken to the old version of the site.

The reason for shutting down the mobile Pirate Bay has not been confirmed, although it is presumed that it's due to ThePirateBay's battle against copyright complaints.

TheMobileBay.org was launched almost two years ago. It was especially created to be compatible with mobile devices to offer a clean user interface based on the original site. There weren't a lot of changes found in the appearance of the mobile site, but it was notably easier to use.

Before the new domain, users had to access ThePirateBay domains via desktop to get a good version of the site. Otherwise, they will have a hard time browsing with their handheld devices.

Now that TheMobileBay.org is up and running once again, fans of the torrent site should be glad. But time will only tell how long this new domain will last.
