Piratbyran is best known for launching the original Pirate Bay site in 2003, but the pro-piracy group has also spent the last seven years campaigning against anti-filesharing regulations. However, the group has now disbanded, following the death of co-founder Ibi Kopimi Botani. “The discussions about abolishing Piratbyran have been going on for years already, but this weekend a beloved friend and member died, and we decided it was time to move on for real, since the group could not be the same without him anyhow,” says Peter Sunde.
