Hundreds of IP Addresses Make Pirate Bay a Hard Target

Posted by timothy on Tuesday May 29, 2012 @01:32AM from the fleeting-contact-on-the-sonar dept.

jones_supa writes "Last week The Pirate Bay added a new IP address which allows users to circumvent the many court-ordered blockades against the site. While this proved to be quite effective, the Hollywood backed anti-piracy group BREIN has already been to court to demand a block against this new address. But that won't deter The Pirate Bay, who say they are fully prepared for an extended game of whac-a-mole using the hundreds of IP addresses they have available. Courts all around the world have ordered Internet providers to block subscriber access to the torrent site, and the end is still not in sight."

http://thepiratebay.se.ipv6.sixxs.org/ Not blocked via DNS nor via IPv6. None of the injuctions seem to cover IPv6. I'm actually wondering if BREIN knows IPv6 exists.

It obviously only works if you are running IPv6.

Wait until they find out that TPB is only one of many torrent sites.
