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.'"

    The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

  2. Why does /. post every Pirate Party press release? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Pirate Parties are probably just RIAA/MAFIAA honeypots, and all of you are falling for it. It's a brilliant scheme, exact same tactic the CIA used to use to get inside of dissident groups and gather intelligence.

    Exactly where are the Pirate Bay servers? You can't confiscate them if you can't find them.

  4. Whose money did they spend? by advantis · · Score: 3, Interesting

    All that money spent in the courts to get ISPs to block the Pirate Bay from direct access, and by the ISPs to implement the ruling, and for what? It appears only the lawyers won. The artists aren't any better off as a result, the "industry" isn't getting any fatter, and the pirates were only slightly inconvenienced for the five minutes it took to find a way around the blockade. You know, given this perspective, I'd suggest that the "industry" spends that money helping people in Africa or poor regions of the US (yeah, I crack myself up sometimes).

    Routing BitTorrent over Tor is bad idea and you should never ever do it. But guess what, if you do want to anonymize your BitTorrent traffic, there's a protocol for that: OneSwarm. It's not a perfect solution, but it does something similar to what you actually wanted when you thought you wanted to run BitTorrent over Tor.
