After
successfully testing out promoting platform for musicians via
file-sharing, TPB officially launched The Promo Bay as a separate
platform for content creators. However, in a few days, the UK’s ISPs
banned the website.
The Promo Bay was started as a launching pad for new content creators and proved to be a great idea. The Promo Bay was appreciated not just by TPB’s users, but also by lots of artists who signed up in a few months.
This success made The Pirate Bay to take a decision to create a dedicated Promo Bay website. For the BitTorrent tracker, it is an opportunity to make better organized use of the thousands of submissions the original platform received.
However, a few days after its launch, a number of the most prominent Internet service providers of Great Britain decided to block their subscribers’ access to The Promo Bay, including BT and Virgin Media. The only question is why a perfectly legitimate portal, created to promote musicians by publishing their work with their approval, got banned? The reason of the blockage might be that The Promo Bay’s domain is on the same list as TPB. However, the portal operators hope that this was an accident, saying that the ISPs are quite monolithic and old school, so it might be just a broad-scale block against a bunch of TPB properties and The Promo Bay fell under the net. In other words, they doubt that it was a pointed move against The Promo Bay in particular. The hopes are that the ISPs will do right and lift the ban when “some clever tech in their ranks does something” to remedy the situation.
In the meanwhile, The Promo Bay has put up a petition in a bid to get their website working in the United Kingdom.
