In 2003, three activists in Sweden launched a small torrent indexing site.

It quickly became the most visited torrent site in the world — loved by users, hated by governments and Hollywood studios.

Despite police raids, multi-million-dollar lawsuits, and even the founders being sent to prison, The Pirate Bay is still online today.

In this episode, we uncover:

• How The Pirate Bay was created and why it became unstoppable

• The legal loopholes that made shutting it down nearly impossible

• The story behind the dramatic 2006 and 2014 police raids

• How copies of the site kept popping up faster than authorities could take them down

• Where the founders are now — and how their mission still shapes the internet today

Whether you agree with piracy or not, The Pirate Bay’s history raises a question we still haven’t answered: Can information ever truly be censored?
