If the names Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm are not familiar to you, it probably means that you do actually spend a little time away from your computer screen each day.  They are the founders of The Pirate Bay and they are resurrecting a ghost from the Bittorrent past.  They have plans to bring back Suprnova, which in its day was the world’s largest torrent site.  Legal action succeeded in shutting down Suprnova in 2004.

Sunde, Neij and Svartholm are becoming quite accustomed to being under intense legal pressure.  They have been threatened by the MPAA, Warner Bros, Microsoft, Sega and Dreamworks just to name a few.  They have even been threatened by representatives of Enya.

Suprnova will be an uncensored torrent index and will be something of a jumping off point for new torrent users.  It is also a slap to the face of groups like the MPAA, who have managed to close down a number of large and influential torrent sites in the past.  The countdown to a new Suprnova.org will be coming soon.  They are planning to launch with over one million torrents.
