Description The Pirate Bay is one of the most famous BitTorrent trackers, but they are currently working on a new protocol to replace it.
The new protocol, still in design, aims to battle the massive number of spammers and anti-piracy organizations that abuse the BitTorrent protocol, either to make money or to bust people who download infringing material.
The new protocol which -most probably- would use the extension .p2p instead of the popular .torrent extension should be backward compatible with current BitTorrent protocol.
The current BitTorrent protocol is developed and maintained by BitTorrent Inc. which decided recently to close the source of some newer additions to the protocol. According to The Pirate Bay, this gives them too much power and influence.
