Suprnova's been given to the boys at Pirate Bay soon to reopen the site. Here is an excerpt:

************************************************************************************
For those of you who don't remember, Suprnova was a Slovenia-based BitTorrent tracker site that was started in late 2002 by Slovenian teen Andrej Preston, aka Sloncek, and in its prime was widely considered to be the best one around, if not in fact the very heart and soul of the BitTorrent community itself.

Suprnova was eventually shut down on December 19th, 2004 after its ISP was raided and servers seized by Slovenian police. The resulting publicity in the press. mounting legal threats, and hassling by police, all convinced Sloncek that it was time to throw in the towel and go back to being "normal."

He has since decided to donate the domain to the Pirate Bay on the condition that they don't change its appearance completely, and that it would continue to be a public tracker site, demands which the Pirate Bay has apparently assured him they will adhere to.

According to Brokep over at the Pirate Bay, the main point of relaunching the site is to "retake" the RIAA and MPAA's biggest file-sharing victory ever" and prove to them once and for all that they're fighting a losing battle against file-sharing.
