P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay

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.

    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?

    I resolve that we simply start attacking the personal accounts of corrupt politicians to make them realize that catering bad legislation for personal gain does them no good.

    How ever this plan would lead to bad attempts to crack down on hacker and other Black hat denizens of the internet. Then we'd see things like a struggle between IT and Management where the IT department would be so heavily scrutinized it would cause a large section of the It employees to get pissed and start either A: attacking Black hats for messing with their networks, or B: Join the black hats to get back at their former masters.

    I can only speculate as I only know so much about how IT professionals and System Administrators feel about having a cruel and over bearing master but I digress, we'll just have to see.
