If you’re looking to either make your Pirate Bay downloading a little more like traditional shopping or a way to avoid spending money at Amazon.com, a new Greasemonkey script is ready to answer the call.
Pirates of the Amazon works by inserting a direct download link below the title of the product you’re currently viewing. Of course it works with movies and albums, but it also does an admirable job finding software and books.
The download link points directly to the .torrent file, so you won’t even have to view the Pirate Bay page for a particular item.
Instructions:
Prepare your ship in 4 steps:
1. To be able to download BitTorrent you have to have a BitTorrent software installed. Good ones are uTorrent for Windows and Transmission for Mac and Linux.
2. Click this link and click “Install Now” when prompted.
3. Confirm Firefox restart to activate the add-on.
4. Go to amazon and enjoy having the choice between “add to shopping cart” and “download 4 free”.
Original site was taken down by the authorities, but we like choices 
Leave us a line if this works for you. You can also send some kudos to the developers via email: mail at pirates-of-the-amazon.com

This is not working – the image which says download for free does not appear – just a empty box. I have AdBlock on my system but even making an exception for it has failed to solve the problem! Any ideas?

the server isn’t sending the right mime-type, so you have to right click and do a save as and install it manually
