First the Digg clone, now this. Yahoo! fails again.

That'll do nothing. People who pirate already use the site's search engine. Plus.. who the hell uses Yahoo search?

If this were digg, I'd digg that :wink:

If anyone listens to anything in the TWiT lineup, they'd know that Leo Laporte has been saying that there was a study performed, that shows the only people who use Yahoo are lower-income, are rural, or are stuck on some Yahoo internet service. The majority of the higher educated people use Google (not to mention Google is just plain better :) )

If you don't know, I'm seriously surprised you haven't Googled. Google Search

TPB is a site that indexes .torrent files, and allows users to download them, as well as view the file's details and discuss.

My mom uses Google search but she still uses Yahoo! Mail, which irritates me a bit because I find it, and everything Yahoo! owns, annoying and crappy.

I hope Yahoo! burns in the future.

I don't agree with this at all. It amounts to censoring, and nothing should ever be censored, in my opinion. Ever.

Although, tbh, I never really liked the pirate bay. I have never got a decent torrent off there. I used to use demonoid, but now use mininova. I do respect the work that the people running it have done with a lot of their other projects, but TPB isn't really that great.
