Just like any other distributed system, this is vulnerable to organized take downs and scare tactics. There was a whole bunch of mirrors of Pirate Bay, yet once most of Europe's legal systems adopted the "sharing is theft" mindset, it became pretty much impossible to find one.

I was just in Europe and used piratebay while I was there. The main site didn’t work, but searching “piratebay mirror” found one that did right away.

Here in Norway, ISPs are actually legally obligated to block access to The Pirate Bay. Mirrors work.
