Okay, allow us to give you several stats to provide some truly depressing context. Metro Manila’s ranking rose by one last year versus in 2022, beating Colombia’s Bogota, which now drops to fifth place. A ‘metro area,’ as defined by TomTom, is “a circle covering the city and rural areas in close proximity.” PHOTO BY LEANDRE GRECIA On average, it took...

Can you believe it's been 20 years already since the world's most resilient torrent website was created? Founded in 2003 by the Swedish anti-copyright group Piratbyrån (“Bureau of Piracy”), the site is still as relevant today as it was back then.

DMCA takedown notices are never complied with, and often ridiculed by staff. Hollywood has tried and failed to end the site many times, and even googly-eyed non-entity Kanye West once declared war on TPB. Most of the current TPB Crew have been here for well over 10 years, many for much, much longer, and we're proud to be...
