If you visit the original Newzbin domain (newzbin.com) you’ll notice a message stating that the Newzbin1 team is coming back later this year. The site claims they are working on some new, legal, services and to stay tuned for more details. That seems kind of odd for a number of reasons. The first of which is a denial on the Newzbin IRC channel. Along with the domain being hosted in Germany now. We’ll keep an eye out though.
Here’s the message currently displayed on newzbin.com:
Newzbin.
The Newzbin1 team are coming back later this year!
We will have some new, legal, services.
Stay tuned for further announcements.
