The Parrot Bay is a website which alludes to the very popular, Swedish-based BitTorrent site, The Pirate Bay. Through the form of a recognizable torrent indexer, the purpose of this website is to bring awareness to what torrenting is, to its effectiveness in spurring all-to-frequent cases and debates, and also to shed some light onto The Pirate Bay's recent trials in court. The website itself does not encourage any form of piracy or illegal activities.
The Parrot Bay was created as an assignment for a Digital Media class at York University. The purpose of the assignment was to explore the basic applications of HTML and CSS coding, while at the same time engaging in a particular topic or issue. This website was not written from scratch. That being said, The Parrot Bay is also not a strict copy of The Pirate Bay's website. Well over 15 hours of time has been spent on writing, tinkering, and experimenting with code. The original files belonging to The Pirate Bay were only used as a reference. This site is, after all, supposed to resemble the world's most resilient BitTorrent site.
