The Pirate Bay is about to become untouchable, and here's how
http://torrentfreak.com/how-the-pirate-bay-plans-to-beat-censorship-for-good-140105/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Torrentfreak+%28Torrentfreak%29
[quote]The Pirate Bay’s PirateBrowser just hit 2.5 million downloads but the notorious torrent site has much bigger plans in store for the new year. The team behind the site is developing a new tool that doesn’t rely on domain names or server farms. Instead, users will serve as the P2P hosts of the sites, with the system running its own alternative DNS. Today, the Pirate Bay team shares some more details on the technology.[/quote]
Here's how it'll work.
[quote]“The goal is to create a browser-like client to circumvent censorship, including domain blocking, domain confiscation, IP-blocking. This will be accomplished by sharing all of a site’s indexed data as P2P downloadable packages, that are then browsed/rendered locally,” a Pirate Bay insider explains.[/quote]
Very interesting system that TPB is working on right now. Will be very interesting to see how the final version works. I mean, if they can successfully pull this off, TPB will be practically untouchable from now on, so copyright holders will have to go after the other torrent sites instead of TPB, because with this new system, there's not a central place for you to take down, it's a whole network consisting of millions of people.
TPB, you clever bastards, you're geniuses.

I heard about that but never really looked into it, I wonder how the government is going to one up this. What are they going to do? arrest everyone who uses this? Prisons will overfill within the first day if they started to arrest people for this

I swear I've seen this thread posted not too long ago...

Hell ya. They are paving the way and forcing the movie industry to improve itself.Like, why can't I digitally download The Hobbit in the HFR? There's no reason they couldn't release it on Itunes or something. Instead, I had to pirate an interpolated version since interpolating movies myself is still new to me and I still haven't figured it out. It's not as good as legitimate 48fps but it's still miles better than standard films. Every film I purchase I do so for the extra features, then I download higher resolution videos that are then stored digitally making it much more convenient.

Cool. I love that site

4 RepliesNot even gonna bother reading the comments to this thread as I already know what to expect. Just like I said before, I find it astonishing that there are so many anti-piracy, pro-DRM, pro-M$, pro-Halo 4, pro-tech-corporate Liberals on Bungie.net. It's absolutely fucking disgusting, and is why this place is almost as bad as Reddit.

Well that's good news. I have over 40 movies and five TV shows thanks to that site.

On a related note...

TPB is dying since we now have Spotify and Netflix widely available. I don't think this new system is going to be that popular, it's too complicated. People won't want to download a new browser just to download a movie. And it won't be untouchable. If they could shut down The Silk Road (even if it was because of a mistake by its creator) then they can shut down this. It'll probably take quite some time though.

Systems like these have been around for a long time. It's pretty much just a P2P version of a dark web browser. P2P file sharing is already pretty common on dark web. And I thought we weren't allowed to discuss online piracy? Maybe they changed that.

Thread stealer ;)

Sounds like all this is really doing is promoting people to go after the individual users instead of the hosting site.
-
Would this new system require more seeders?
-
They'll find a way to shut it down, they always do.

48 RepliesJust great, now all PC gamers will pirate games.
-
When can we stop calling it piracy?

9 RepliesI swear, some people rage over piracy for no good reason.

4 RepliesSo isn't it sorta like Limewire? And Limewire got shut down.
-
1 ReplyDidn't you already make this thread like 3 months ago? Also, piracy is still illegal and anyone who partakes in it should be fined.
-
That's smart, I don't pirate myself, but I hope it works because I want a few select members to get mad.
-
Didn't you make this thread 2 months ago?
-
Excellent.
-
Yay. ;)
-
2 RepliesBut I don't feel like hosting anything, downloading is risky enough (or am I misunderstanding this?)

Edited by Banned Gatsby: 1/5/2014 7:14:07 PMIf they don't attack the site they can get them where it hurts and aim at those downloading. Obviously not everything on the site is illegal but the main downloads are movies and games.
