What does one do to take advantage of a movie doing well in the box office? Associate with the movie in some way or the other perhaps? That’s exactly what the popular torrent site ‘The Pirate Bay‘ did when the movie ‘The Dark Knight‘ became a huge success in movie theaters all over the world. In its first weekend, the film grossed a record breaking $158.4 million, and it’s currently on top of IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time with an average rating of 9.3.

Not only did it taunt the movie industry in general and distributor Warner Bros in particular by distributing the movie for free, in order to garner in more publicity, it also renamed their site to ‘The Pirate Bat‘ and put up a new logo (see below) on its homepage that links to a search for “The Dark Knight”.

As pointed out by Torrent Freak, this is not the first time that The Pirate Bay has rebranded its site to piss off content owners. When Apple’s OSX x86 leaked in July 2005, they renamed the site to the Pear Bay, and linked to the leaked torrent. Back in July 2005 The Pirate Bay put up a logo inspired on Grand Theft Auto for the release of their new website, the Grand Theft Bay. Apart from being creative with their logo’s, The Pirate Bay is known for their hilarious responses to copyright owners who request takedowns.

Here is a photo uploaded (on July 18, 2008) by marialgullickson on Flickr of a Portland Movie Theatre - CineMagic. Looks like the theatre management got caught halfway through changing the sign from “Hancock” to the latest Batman movie, “The Dark Knight” and as you can see from the photo, it became “The Dark Cock“!!

Great pic marialgullickson! By the way, this is not photoshopped
