TPB and WB Deal... April Fool's or the real deal?

So, apparently TPB and Warner Bros struck a deal worth $13 Billion.
http://torrentfreak.com/warner-bros-acquires-the-pirate-bay-090401/

Think it's true, or just an April Fools joke?
If it's real, you can pretty much say goodbye to TPB.
Everything is gonna start being priced.

Also, TPB's homepage logo is WB <3 TPB (But with logos...)

Anyway, I'm hoping its a joke.

Well, that may be true, but TPB has changed their logo also...

BTW, what's the latest (true things) on the TPB trial?

ROFL ROFL ROFL....

Scenario: someone comes and steals from your house....steal your iPod, your PS3, your 50" Screen...you get the picture wink  If you know who the robber is (in this case TPB) would you:

a) meet up with the guy, offer him 50,000 $ , hoping he'll stop the next day...

b) go to the police and hope to get your stuff back + the robber incarcerated...

Don't get me wrong...I have a TPB T-Shirt that I wear proudly (Shhh) but other than that there's no way on Earth any of these companies would offer millions, let alone billions to any torrenting site...Even if TPB had 70-80% of all the torrent traffic worldwide , which is NOT the case and would stop torrenting the next day after the "acquisition" I bet in a week's time other sites would take over with no problems whatsoever...

Ha-Ha-Ha  !! April Fools !

If it was real, I'm sure they would wait until tomorow to spread the news.

I uploaded it to RapidShare and within 5 minutes it had 300 downloads on all 100 files. LOL. I had it up really REALLY quick. that's probably why.
