New Pirate Bay Proxies Spring Up

Posted by timothy on from the let-a-thousand-flowers-bloom dept.

Techmeology writes "Just days after the UK Pirate Party was forced to kill its proxy service Pirate Parties in Argentina and Luxembourg have created their own proxies. In a statement, the Pirate Party in Argentina said: 'We wish the UK Pirate Party best of luck in their continued fight for free access to culture and knowledge. We have put up our own Pirate Bay proxy which is accessible from anywhere in the world, including the UK and other places where it has been censored.'"

      Really, trying to legal block proxies on the internet is one of the dumbest things ever.

    They moved to the 'cloud', making it near impossible for authorities to raid the servers the site is hosted on:
