ThePiratebay is still up.

EDIT: Also, Jarka is right. Even if they put down all of the sites, there will still be 3rd person programs that allow you to connect directly to IPs and file share that way. If they figure THAT out, there will always be another way as long as the internet is fairly unmonitored, which it will remain for the foreseeable future.
What the companies and government need to do to deter piracy is to create a way to legally fileshare and turn a profit off of it. Even people who charge very very little for services is better than charging the going rate. The faster people realize that people will have access to their products for free, the faster they can think of a way to profit off of it.
You can look at LoL as an example of how freeware is CAPABLE of turning a great profit (not saying that all products should follow their model, but as an example). The only way of creating them of their money is pretty much committing credit-card fraud.
