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.'"

    Just another case of the internet routing around censorship. Is anyone really truly surprised by this?

      There are a lot of proxies:

      Actually, there are a lot of proxy lists:

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

    The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

    Make mirrors, not proxies! You know, routing around confiscated servers is difficult.

  5. Slow learners by benjfowler · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm a little aghast at what slow learners the pro-copyright corporatist extremists and their front groups really are.

    I've convinced that they will never learn ever -- and that we'll simply have to wait a generation for these stupid, venal old white men to die before they are replaced by people willing to see logic and reason, and realize that locking up culture behind contrived barriers, and lobbying/corrupting government into propping up their broken business models is a long term losing proposition.

    The MAFIAA are proof that human greedy and stupidity is truly infinite.

    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.

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