+It Lives! Pirate Bay To Re-ignite Suprnova
+
+Suprnova.org, the king of the early bittorrent trackers, was shut down nearly three years ago after tremendous pressure from the French anti-piracy group RetSpan, but the notorious Pirate Bay has vowed to bring it back.
+
+The original owner of Suprnova.org, Andrej Preston has reached an agreement with the Pirate Bay to turn over use of the domain name, paving the way for the return of Suprnova.
+
+Like the Pirate Bay Suprnova was a torrent tracker and search engine for finding movies, TV shows, and more -- some legal, some not. But the rebirth of Suprnova will see the site limited to torrent indexing, rather than tracking.
+
+The Pirate Bay also says that a new community site will be launched that will be linked to both Suprnova and The Pirate Bay -- [SuprBay.org][2] is the new domain.
+
+Founded by Preston, who is Slovenian, in late 2000, Suprnova.org paralleled the rise of bittorrent as a file-swapping tool, and in many ways is at least partly responsible for its popularity today.
+
+For his part, Preston tells [TorrentFreak][1], "I know that domain has some nostalgic value and some people would be more then happy to see it back online. I don’t use it, and TPB is the only team that I know will use it correctly."
