Pirate Bay mirrors Wikipedia in that both have admins who get paid nothing but get pissy when they can't dickwave over how much content they've uploaded

What would happen if some big artist like Taylor Swift decided to combat piracy by selling preorders and saying "if I don't get 1 million preorders, I don't release the album"?

That would seem fair in my mind

Same thing with movies - the studios can sell tickets online and have a quota, and if the quota's not reached, they don't put it out

Someone just suggested to me that the new Pirate Bay might be a government honeypot...which would be amazing
