The PirateBay is about to make itself untouchable

Basically, TPB is going to release a completely peer to peer based browser for torrents. Making TPB impervious to being taken down. As there would be nothing to take down. TPB is basically going to stop having a domain name all together.

TPB is basically going to stop having a domain name all together.[/quote]Yeah, so um, that's wrong and so is your headline. Anyone who knows anything about how the Internet works will know that BitTorrent, like HTTP and DNS, is an application layer protocol which is still dependent on the services the OSI protocol stack provides below itself. Those services can easily be cut.

    • The main reason for Piracy is inconvenience. If pirating becomes too much of an inconvenience, like with this site, no one is gonna even bother.

        • Until copyright gets better I really don't care. People should fight the good fight against such anti-consumer practices and outdated laws. Technically all children are all criminal scum because they copy pasted an image from google. It's just asinine. Change the system or people will find ways around it whether the uptight goodies say 'no' or not.

            Whilst I don't agree with current copyright laws (To say the least) I don't like Piracy either. The only acceptable grey area for me (Personally) is watching TV shows online via streaming sites a few hours after they air (Game of Thrones for example) and then purchase the DVDs when they are released in the UK. Put it this way, the Red Wedding aired when Season 2 came out in the UK. If I hadn't watched it online, half of the show would have been spoiled for me in a night of furious tweeting/Facebook posts and threads.

            • I only use TPB to demo games that cost more than $20. You don't get updates and the like with pirated content.

            • I'm not even going to scroll down into these comments, since I know there are an unusually large number of pro-SOPA/Xbox DRM/"fine text" assholes on these forums.

                Now big media corporations will try and get isps to target people using peer-to-peer based browsers, I could see it if they tried to pass a law making peer-to-peer browsing/VPNs illegal. Big media will do anything but updates it's outdated methods.

                  I have no qualms about piracy. All it does is help content become more well-known to a wider audience, at the expense of the artist/publisher's short-term pocketbook. I personally don't pirate content, but if you do that's cool with me. >inb4chargedwithpromotingpiracyandv&
