great
Maybe in the future they will also allow their Users/Uploaders to add Bitcoin addresses to their profile for tipping. 
This is an excellent idea. It's gonna happen too
I know it. 
Great, more exposure the better. Hopefully other sites follow.
More bittorrent sites follow the piratebay,accepting only bitcoins as donation.

Interesting news, thanks.

Couldn't they just put it in the description of the torrent?

I recall they had no idea what bitcoin was and deleted a bunch of bitcoin guide torrents "or some type of bitcoin torrents". A user from bitcointalk "bitcoinforums at the time" was bitching about it.
inb4 some ISP hijacks their traffic and replaces the BTC address.
HTTPS?implying people specifically types the https address or uses https everywhere

HTTPS? 
With an Alexa global traffic rank of 72 this has to be very significant. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thepiratebay.se
I bet it gets more users than the Alexa rank shows. Alexa is such bs as a measure of traffic. Do you actually know anyone that has it installed?
I do not, but that is not the point since it is a measure of relative traffic when comparing different websites. The more important question is: Is a user of thepiratebay.se more or less likely to install Alexa than say for example a user of cnn.com? The latter site is ranked at 76 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/cnn.com.
It is not as high as WordPress but I understand this is the second largest site that accepts bitcoin.

Yay! First time I can really support them.

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned but I don't find:
BTC: 1Kqzbv4ekpJX3ohYWGEzMqzvf27VjBux35
very descriptive. I didn't even notice it after using the site for 2 hrs today. Why not say?
Bitcoin donations now accept: (and then replace their btc address with mine)

They're not really going out of their way to promote it, but it's still nice to see.
I prefer it like that. Bitcoin is just another normal method of payment.
Good point.
It also shows how easy it is to accept bitcoins. Simply adding a line of text at the bottom of their website is going to bring in plenty of donations.
I've already sent them 10 bitcents
