The Pirate Bay To Create YouTube Competitor

Posted by kdawson on from the torrential dept.

Jared writes "The Pirate Bay has confirmed that is working on a streaming video site with user-generated content. A spokesman said the site will be modeled after YouTube but there will be 'no censorship': The Pirate Bay 'will not be the moral police' and determine what content stays or goes as is oftentimes the case with YouTube. He added that 'the community will have to do that.'" The site will be at thevideobay.org, but nothing is up there for the public yet.

      If their name is any indication, they'll travel the seas, attacking any and every Bandwidth Ship that journeys by. Their fearless captain at the helm, they'll be like the Robin Hood of the seas and the Internet. For too long have the Bandwidth Barons held the vast majority of the Internets, and preventing the peasants from using theirs as they will. TV episodes and music clips for all who need them!

    will run on Hurd web servers, and the first 1000 registered users will get free copies of Duke Nukem Forever!

    So, in practice, I bet there'll be little difference between the end product and YouTube.

    There'll be more porn. More, weirder porn. I'm looking forward to it.
