we've seen several websites that do not break US law get evicted by registrars, ISPs, DDoS protection services, and other Internet landlords. 4chan miraculously survived multiple mass hysteria periods of the past decade without (iirc) any major disruptions. same as Russian 2ch -- miraculously untouched by Russia's rapid North Koreaization even though its /pol/ is overwhelmingly anti-regime.

The pirate bay is still up despite being taken down, is this now also a honeypot?

The Pirate Bay has had legal issues, been raided and taken down in the past. Has 4chan has any issues like this?

The UK fined it £520,000 but has no way to enforce it.

In fairness, this at most tells you the UK court system isn't party to any honeypotting.

Despite the memes, the UK is not the 51st state, which is both why it was able to make the fine (1st Amendment doesn't have jurisdiction over the UK) and why it's not able to enforce it (the UK doesn't have jurisdiction over 4chan).

>(1st Amendment doesn't have jurisdiction over the UK)

It's a matter of enforcement. And who would want to enforce 1st amendment?

		Neither has the power to be enforced outside its own territory. The entirety of the US constitution carries zero weight to the court system of the nation that the founders of those United States, ahem, engaged in unlawful violent treason against, with the assistance of foreign powers (France, then Spain and the Dutch Republic). :P

Is the current pirate bay even still the original, or just a mirror or someone trying to mimic the old one?

		It's the original, but it's also turned to shit. There are much better piracy websites, and infinitely many ad-filled proxies.
