Counterexample: The Pirate Bay. In spite of repeated domain seizures, a
high-profile prosecution with convictions, and an ongoing campaign to get
it shut down, it continues to operate to this day.
I thought it was several pirate bays being operated by different people? Granted, that doesn't change anything from my perspective, and I'm happy they are working and it is a good example of decentralization in a centralized structure (well part of it at least).
Both of you are right. Yes, there are multiple Pirate Bays, but there's an 'official' Pirate Bay located at thepiratebay.org. Granted, this domain has changed hands many times over the years, and it no longer resembles the original site very much (ads etc.). However, making a copy of TPB is trivially easy as it's all magnet links. All of the million plus torrents are about 100M in size.

To be fair, TPB is a malware-ridden shit-hole filled with dead torrents and whatnot, but that's outside the current discussion.

Had no idea, thank you very much for the update!
