If you don’t remember SuprNova.org, welcome to the internet. I hope it’s been treating you well. SuprNova was the first -big- file-swapping site that used torrents exclusively. It first launched in 2002 and became so popular, that my computer illiterate friends knew what it was and how to use it. Thanks to legal pressure, the site ended in late 2004. Earlier this month, previous SuprNova owner, Slonček, donated the domain to The Pirate Bay owners, who decided that it deserved a revival.
The site just relaunched minutes ago (2:00PM EST) and seems to be bombarded with traffic, because it’s quite slow. We don’t condone piracy, but we don’t like how record companies/movie industries are handling things either. A revisited SuprNova is a quick jab to the gut to those who originally demanded it be shut down. Considering that The Pirate Bay owners have kept their site up and running for some time, chances are the new SuprNova will not go away anytime soon.
Suprnova has been down for some years due to some heavy pressure from the copyright lobby. The former owner sloncek donated suprnova to The Pirate Bay – and as you know, we like to kick ass and bow for noone! We were going to keep this site a secret until we had finished it, but of course it leaked, that’s how internet works. So now that the word is out, we’re releasing it!
