Fortunately, Linux ISOs are generally available through other means. That's why this is on HN, right? To alert people to modify their Puppet configs to pull the ISO via direct download?

"The Pirate Bay" is not all of Bittorrent. Just because TPB is down doesn't mean your torrents that use other public trackers just stop working.

I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make.

The parent poster is trying to highlight the 0.01% of PirateBay that is legitimate, so that the other 99.9% of "sharing" can be somehow legitimized by association.

Alternatively, they are trying to make a snarky suggestion that this isn't HN material.
