SuprNova.org, a well-known BitTorrent hub before being forced to shut down three years ago, is apparently making a comeback.
An agreement was reached that allows the operators of The Pirate Bay to use the domain name, according to reports published Thursday on blogs, TorrentFreak and Slyck.com.
Like The Pirate Bay, SuprNova helped users locate BitTorrent files of movies, TV shows, and books. It"s believed that a large number of the files are copyright copies and scores of people from all over the world download them in violation of copyright law. Hollywood has accused such sites of encouraging piracy.
TorrentFreak reported that the new SuprNova will debut sometime in the next week. The Pirate Bay founders could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
