The fate of The Pirate Bay and other torrent sites remains uncertain as the online file sharing avenues continue to face a lot of legal issues.

After Kickass Torrent head Artem Vaulin was arrested in Poland in July, torrent providers continue to shut down one by one. But while the Swedish-based The Pirate Bay remains in operation at the moment, speculations claim that it may also meet its demise soon.

Torrent Freak reported that The Pirate Bay and other file sharing websites are already in danger of receiving law suits based on the evidences gathered by anti-piracy outfit Excipio.

Another organization called Spridningskollen (Distribution Check) announced that they are introducing a new method to detect illegal file-sharing activities. "One can compare it to a speed camera. In the same way that a speed camera only records those who drive too fast, only those Internet users who share copyrighted material without permission are logged," spokesman Gordon Odenbark said in a statement posted on the publication.

This could impede the operation of websites such as The Pirate Bay, since they could be in danger of being slapped with numerous anti-piracy lawsuits.

However, sources told Torrent Freak earlier that people behind The Pirate Bay remains positive that they can withstand the trials that most torrent sites are facing at the moment.

"TPB is as important today as it was yesterday, and its role in being the galaxy's most resilient torrent site will continue for the foreseeable future," The Pirate Bay staffer known as Spud said in the report. "Sure, TPB has its flaws and glitches but it's still the go-to site for all our media needs, and I can see TPB still being around in 20 or 30 years time, even if the technology changes."

Other alternative sites that also work like The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrent are beginning to emerge online.
