Ah good so it is still possible. It would be a good reason to have a tor relay, if your country has strict copyright laws I suppose. Do you have a link to any info on this pirate bay/Anna's Archive connection? As far as I've known it is comprised of stuff from libgen, z-library, sci-hub & the Internet Archive. I haven't been able to find anything linking it to The Pirate Bay. They do both seem remarkably resilient to takedown attempts and legal threats.
