Pirate Bay Docks in Peru: New System Will Make Domains “Irrelevant”
The Pirate Bay was forced to switch domains earlier this week but today the torrent site reached its final destination for now. A few moments ago TPB landed in Peru with words of caution for its adversaries. Speaking with TorrentFreak, a Pirate Bay spokesman said a new system currently under development will not only make domain names irrelevant, but will herald the arrival of a new generation of hardened file-sharing services.
The world’s leading entertainment companies and their armies of lawyers have tried pretty much every trick in the book to take The Pirate Bay offline.

Their numerous attacks have included police raids, the total confiscation of the site’s hardware, plus prolonged legal action resulting in the criminal convictions for its founders. More recently the site’s domains have been blocked in various countries around Europe but no tactic has yet managed to bring the site to its knees.

:billmechelle:

There have been small victories, however. Perhaps realizing that blockades weren’t having the desired effect in the past year action has been taken against the site’s domains. Fearing a domain seizure by Swedish authorities, last April the site moved to a Greenland-based domain. The stay was short-lived, with the site moving first to Iceland and then the .sx ccTLD for Sint Maarten.

That residency was to last just eight months, terminated this week following pressure from Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN. The .AC ccTLD of Ascension Island was next up, a handy stopover on the way to its latest destination.
As of a few minutes ago the site’s new domain became ThePirateBay.pe. The .PE represents the ccTLD of Peru, chosen by the site “because it’s in South America.”

Quite how long the world’s most famous torrent site will stay sandwiched between Ecuador and Bolivia is anyone’s guess, but TorrentFreak was told that there will soon come a time when seizing Pirate Bay’s domains will be a pointless exercise.
Currently under development is a BitTorrent-powered browser that will enable users to store and distribute The Pirate Bay and other sites without need for central hosting. This means sites will be able to exist in a new and decentralized form with no reliance on a public-facing website.

In a message to “BREIN and friends,” The Pirate Bay cautions that while closing down domains may be an irritant today, that loophole won’t be open forever.
“They should wait for our new PirateBrowser, then domains will be irrelevant,” an insider told TorrentFreak.
“Once that is available then all links and sites will be accessible through a perfectly legal piece of browser software and the rest of it will be P2P, with no central point to attack via the legal system.”

And according to the spokesman this process of attack and adaption, such as Pirate Bay’s move to the cloud last year, is leading to one place – the advent of new and hardened file-sharing networks.
“By their actions they finally brought on the next generation of decentralized services,” the insider concludes.
TorrentFreak is informed that the new system, which is still under development, will appear as a standalone browser and also as Firefox and Chrome plugins. Until then the varied climate of Peru will suffice.

My ISP blocks the bay... it's fucking outrageous because there is plenty of perfectly legal freeware and opensource shit on Pirate Bay and it's a good service.

I mean if I personally download something illegally then fine whatever, come get me... but don't outright block the entire fucking thing.

Makes you wonder what else is out there that they just block outright and we never get to see or even know it exists.

PB is just a host, if there are users doing things that are illegal, take it up with those users.

This sledgehammer approach worries me... what else will they block just because they don't like how private individuals choose to use it?

It's a very similar issue to gun control imo.

Pardone moi, but what is this torrent you speak of?
I assume it is for movies or music but I for the life of me can't imagine there is anything good to watch or listen to that isnt propaganda or moral and mortal poison.
SO there must be something good available, I just am unaware of what there is of value that makes this worth while.

Then they'll go to the next step: target your ISP, and if you download this new broswer, shut off your internet.

I'll bet you that's exactly how they'll respond.

Funny how torrents always get the limelight. Where as other methods stay in the shadows.

Yep, torrents is old school now...The files are to easy to see by your ISP, this resulting in them throttling your speed or banning you if they suspect the file your downloading is copyrighted....

For a measly $24.99 (Approx £18.00), I purchase a 3 months premium access to rapidgator. This gives me unlimited downloads and speed, having 120MB with Virgin in the UK, it's easy to get carried away. Then I go to warez bb, look for files that say RG for rapidgator and away I go..Of course, I only download files that I personally own and wants copies of on my hard drive. Downloading movies (Already converted, THAT I OWN) is easier than spending hours ripping my dvds and then converting them. There is plenty of other sites similar to rapidgator and some sites give you premium access to all hosting sites without the need of buying them individually, but not always a good idea as sometimes the speed is unreliable.

What I have said above is perfectly legal, unless you don't own the files.. Of course, they don't just host copyrighted material, some business use them too for Company file sharing etc, so said sites names mentioned are....I am not whatsoever promoting downloading material you don't own, but you have your own free will, get caught and you will face the consequences...
