Q1: I found a link to a new version of The Pirate Bay website. Can it be included in the article?
A1: This will not be added unless an address has been confirmed by reliable sources as the new official site. The owners of The Pirate Bay have made no comment about their long term intentions, or endorsed any of the mirror sites. The mirror at thepiratebay.cr is not fully functional and does not allow user logins or new torrents to be uploaded. Concerns have also been expressed about mirror sites leading to scams and malware. Sources: [1][2][3][4]

External links to websites that display copyrighted works are acceptable as long as the website is manifestly run, maintained or owned by the copyright owner; the owner has licensed the content in a way that allows the website to use it; or the website uses the work in a way compliant with fair use. Knowingly directing others to material that violates copyright might be considered contributory copyright infringement. If there is reason to believe that a website has a copy of a work in violation of its copyright, do not link to it. Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work casts a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors
