P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay

Posted by kdawson on from the move-along-no-database-here dept.

With the US and other G8 countries trying to outlaw The Pirate Bay and its ilk, an anonymous reader suggests that a solution may have emerged out of Cornell University. A new open-source project called Cubit is an Azureus plugin that provides decentralized approximate keyword search of torrents in the network.

  1. the US is pathetic by gailrob · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Maybe if they stopped dumping all my money (and every other tax payer) into attacking website owners in foreign countries and focused on getting our economy out of the shithole its in right now I'd have some respect for them. I honestly think over the years the US has become the most pathetic country on the planet. Gotta give props to the top 1% of the public officials and business owners though... they've mastered stepping on the entire planet for their personal gain.

    I wonder if there was a time when the government in this country gave a flying shit about the people it was created to serve or if it always about racketeering?
