Torrent index and magnet link repository for peer-to-peer file sharing, alternative to the original Pirate Bay
Piratebay2.org is an unofficial mirror site of The Pirate Bay, which indexes torrent files and magnet links to facilitate peer-to-peer file sharing of copyrighted material. The Pirate Bay has been involved in multiple lawsuits and domain transitions over the years due to legal pressures regarding copyright infringement.
As various domains and iterations of The Pirate Bay have been seized or taken down over time, mirror and proxy sites have emerged to provide continued access to its database of torrents. Piratebay2.org serves as one such unofficial mirror, allowing users to search for and download torrents that link to various copyrighted films, TV shows, music, games, and software.
The legal status of merely linking to torrents is controversial, as is the ethics of downloading copyrighted material without permission. However, The Pirate Bay and its mirrors argue that facilitating file sharing itself should not be illegal, and that they do not directly host copyrighted files themselves. Nevertheless, many see unofficial mirrors like piratebay2.org as mainly focused on giving continued access to illegal downloads.
