The Pirate Bay was one of the largest piracy sites on the Internet until torrent sites became illegal in some countries.

Now Pirate Bay has begun to offer a streaming alternative for some of its content, called Baystream. If a torrent has more than 100 active seeds, the Baystream streaming option appears.  Pirate Bay is also promoting VPN services heavily.

Why it matters

This is a case of a pirate becoming resourceful, in order to maintain its illegal alternative in competition against legitimate streaming services. Pirate Bay has also changed its Web address.
