New Pirate Bay Greenland Domains Suspended
The Pirate Bay switched to two Greenland-based domains Tuesday morning but it looks like the party is already over. The company responsible for .GL TLD registrations said they would not allow the domains to be put to illegal use. “Tele-Post has today decided to block access to two domains operated by file-sharing network The Pirate Bay,” the company said. According to TorrentFreak: "Queries to the .GL domain registry now confirm that both the domains in question have been officially suspended."
That just sucks!
Why is it that most of the people that I encounter seem to have been shat from the Sphincter of Mediocrity?
I've had some TPB torrents open for 48 hrs now and 4 default trackers have been down the entire time. I can't even download the hash-data to get the torrent info.
That Greenland wants to be 'liberated'? All we have here is another reason to abandon DNS, or at last find a way to make local name caching more feasible. After all, this is the internet. It's supposed to be robust, able to circumvent all blockages.
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
So, is it time to come up with a new system for distributing IP addresses, other than DNS? Or a new means of configuring DNS to make queries to more than just a couple of servers, based on the hosts being queried?
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Which ISP wants the heat of illegal downloads going through their networks? PIrate Bay's days will soon end.. E-Mule and these other Peer-to-peer will be targetted next. It's just a matter of time before the 'Wild Wild West' internet, becomes.. uh.. civilized :)
Medusa is all up in your grill, bitchtard.
Greenland has a TLD?
people already used to setup 8.8.8.8 and opendns in resolv.conf so it's easy to run separate services and create separate dns table
It's about time we started investing in the decentralized name server alternatives. .P2P fizzled because they couldn't figure out a decentralized distribution mechanism. Thankfully, Namecoin is at v3.5 and only requires adding a DNS resolver to the system.
Is there anything better than clicking through Microsoft ads on Slashdot?
As is a DNS problem just tupe TPB's ip directly http 194.71.107.80 /81/82/83. Works like charm.
Pretty useful info here: http://proxybay.info/alternate-methods.html
...Tuesday and Wednesday morning I got the .tl, this afternoon it was back to .se
Operation Guillotine is in effect.
Do you think it would be legal to run ads for drug dealers? I mean, you don't deal drugs, just list the dealers and their pagers! Some of them may just de dealing crummy homeopathetic medicine, but you know damn well most of them would be selling coke and meth. I think it still sucks the balls off a dead moose, but we have to really think about the moral implications instead of just crying "Not fair! I liked it!".
Tomorrow is another day...
I think we should just hard code it in the hosts file. My reasoning:
thepiratebay.gl is owned by thepiratebay,
Tele-Post have fallen for the manipulation of the copyright law, and prejudged this, they are in the wrong.
So simply point thepiratebay.gl at 194.71.107.15 or whatever,
Tele-post loses the ability to sell thepiratebay.gl , the pirate bay become the rightful owners of that domain (forever) .
Really they just sell names, but they act like they control what you do with the name, that's very dangerous. It would only be a matter of time before speech is the reason you lose a domain name. The prosecution of pirate bay was driven by US politics, we saw that from the leaked Wikileaks memos. That can't be permitted.
The courts make the so-called "law" up as they go along, to suit the desired outcome. We don't live in a democracy under the rule of law, but in a tyranny under the rule of power elites.
And serve it through Tor. Darknets aren't suited for BitTorrent traffic, but they're perfect for trackers and search engines.
Time for a .liberty gTLD, with a simple charter: we accept everybody unless order by court to do otherwise (ok, except cp for pr reasons). It should have multiple US, EU, China etc. servers and representatives with free roaming amongst them so censors would need to obtain an injuction in all of these jurisdictions to sieze a domain. The initial ICANN fee is 185.000 and 25.000/year after that, but I would imagine an unsiezable cool domain is worth at least a few hundred bucks a year for the right owners. So you can actually make a profit from 400 or so .liberty domains.
(I know, .free is nicer but Google or Amazon have their filthy paws on it already; the irony)
HaHa!
"I mean, you don't deal drugs, just list the dealers and their pagers! Some of them may just de dealing crummy homeopathetic medicine, but you know damn well most of them would be selling coke and meth."
Thankfully the world isn't censored according to your perception of it. Whether you think they're selling coke or not, they're entitled to a trial and evidence. But you should also realize that cocaine, opiates etc. are legally sold, even in the USA as medicines. The only difference is the valid license and valid doctors license. Valid is a relative term, a valid doctors license in USA is not valid for Mexico.
In some countries, they've decriminalized drugs, Columbia, and Portugal for example, it resulted in a drop in HIV and a drop in related crimes.
See, in your head is an absolute measure of good and bad based on what you've been told is true, but you've been misled. Thankfully, we don't rely on individuals prejudice to make these decision, and this is why the admin at .GL is wrong. No matter what his personal opinion is, its wrong for him to misuse his position to force that opinion on others.
It would be like the RIAA stopping iPods because of the copy, they tried, they failed, as a result music sales are at their highest level ever recorded. Yet they claimed it would destroy music!
Looks to me like somebody exerted pressure onto somebody else. Same as in 2006 when the US threatened Sweden with trade sanctions if they wouldn't do something about TPB.
"The stuff I had was far from addictive, really tuned for killing pain and not addictive at all. For your information, it was from the hydromorphone family"
Here's how to kick addiction to hydromorphones,
http://www.drugs.com/forum/featured-drugs/hydromorphone-dilaudid-addiction-35799.html
Coke is psychologically addictive, not chemically, users take it for the effect, not a chemical dependency. You magically separate these into two groups:
1. Medicines, magic non addictive, good, legal, and totally different from
2. Drugs, addictive, evil, illegal,
The distinction really isn't there. All of item 1) is also in the set of item 2. Those opiates for pain killing are as addictive as opiates for mellowing out, amphetamines are speed or E, or Ritalin, or the drugs used to treat obesity. The primary effect of the drug heroin, the chemical effect not the crime, or the costs, or the withdrawal symptoms, the actual measurable effect is 'constipation'.

"I fail to see how you really responded to my marketing moral analogy"
And here we are, *you* don't understand why the world doesn't set rules based on what *you* think is right and wrong, and when challenged on your black and white, right and wrong (and demonstrably false) views, *you* quote *yourself* as evidence.
The registrar is wrong to apply his arbitrary and incorrect judgement to his job. His job is to issue the domains, not decide moral arguments.
Mali is giving addresses away for free. thepiratebay.ml
Or better still. Go and make a deal with the republic of Adygea. thepirateb.ay
Are you a Greenland law specialist then, that you declare this legal? It may be legal in your jurisdiction, but a Dutch court has made most ISPs block access to TPB because it was "illegal". It just may be illegal in Greenland too, what would you know?
I was promised a flying car. Where is my flying car?
Unless they are going to put Microsoft (Search) Google, Yahoo, et al in jail.
It is call the "Pirate" Bay lol
I was hoping for Pirate Bagels, Pirate Cream cheese or Pirate lox.They are really being denied a great merchandising opportunity!
I'd go for .pn personally. From the Pitcairn Islands, the home of the descendants of the Mutineers of the Bounty. They may even appreciate the "Pirate Bay" name!

Im gosgog:
If you buy recorded Music, Movies or whatever..you paid the copyright fee. Now you own it, anything else is BULLSHIT. SO if you're willing to allow others the FREE USE of what you own...it ain't PIRACY. ONCE AGAIN GOV'TS, with their IDIOT POLITICIANS are making rules that they have no business doing....and guess what...the vast majority of 'em HAVE A LAW DEGREE...KILL 'EM!!
Why not moving to TOR / ONION addresses?. You could promote TOR / Onion, and you could deploy an ONION proxy for casual users not interested in installing TOR themselves.
