I'm not even convinced they will buy it at all.

The purchase has a bunch of conditions on it, such as PirateBay already being a completely legit site by the time they take over it (which is, what, three weeks from now?).

I bet the purchase won't end up happening at all, and the failure to do so will be blamed on the record industry not being interested in licensing their content in whatever fashion GGF needs it to be. That, or on ISPs not being interested in paying for the feast.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a stunt to drive up the stock price of GGF and make CEO Hans Pandeya some money. A few weeks from now, it will be announced that the purchase of the PirateBay has been cancelled.

Check back then and tell me I was wrong.
