IsoHunt Unofficially Resurrects the Pirate Bay
An anonymous reader writes: Torrent site isoHunt appears to have unofficially resurrected The Pirate Bay at oldpiratebay.org. At first glance, The Old Pirate Bay seems to be just a commemorative site for The Pirate Bay, which went down this week after police raided its data center in Sweden. Upon further inspection, however, it turns out the site is serving new content. This is much more than just a working archive of The Pirate Bay; it has a functioning search engine, all the old listings, and working magnet links.
And all is right with the world again.
This sig intentionally left blank.
So where are the dozens of mirrors spread across the world that they claimed to have?
EZTV is such an amazing site, it made keeping up with TV shows from all over the planet so easy. Far easier than any cable system, I use the fact of BBC 2-4, Sky, CBC, etc being completely unavailable to my cable market as a huge reason I don't want it. Their simple listing, single line sorted by seeding time, is pure genius. Only one torrent or maybe two for HD shows...I've been scrambling trying to put a spreadsheet together, trying to look up all the various channels EZTV had to find schedules in four different countries. And even that misses out on all the one-off documentaries...
Does anyone know of a site with listings like that? epguides.com has some grids, but is still lacking.
Then we must arrest every real estate agent on the planet!
If anyone needs me I will be over here with my usenet
And five more shall rise in its place.
That's a pale imitation of Isohunt from when the original got shut down. I doubt anything it does with The Pirate Bay will be any less pale.
distributing stolen property is a crime!
Copyright violation is not theft, you fucking imbecile.
Hope they don't shut it down. It's called google.com
At first I thought the Swedish Police had shut down Michael Bay....
If telephones are outlawed, then only outlaws will have telephones.
It is impossible to stop piracy. It's a waste of effort to even try.
This is going to evolve into a completely decentralized, encrypted tool going over common ports that will be easy to use. It can never be stopped.
I know it's cliche to bring up the whole information wants to be free argument, but it applies in this case. People want to share, the last 20 years have shown that, and since that need is far more frequent than the content owners need to greedily restrict their content, it will be dominant.
If you ignore ACs because they are anonymous - you're an idiot.
Download me some Natty Boh while you're at it.
I founded SuprnovaRadio (or one of it's incarnations) back in 2003, good times. Still own the domain that hosted the site and streams (novasearch.net) that it was hosted on back then too, although it hasn't pointed to a server in ages.
Its an indexing service, with zero content, just like a thing called a 'phone book'.
And a phone book 'facilitates' phone calls, just like an ISP facilitates 'internet' - just like a bar facilitates drink driving and violence.
Google is OK, but a Swedish phone book is not. Or an education facilitates 'tax evasion'. And if a bill payment system used to purchase the 'internet' - or the banks or telcos - they have to be put in the dock too - for facilitation.
When the though police decide the brain 'facilitates' breathing, or when thinking 'facilitates' something alleged to illegal, we are on a very slippery slope indeed.
Which makes a joke out of the Swedish police, who now become a lackey of a new trans-border government agency set up right old wrongs and to right perceived wrongs, even if the wrong is in the future.
Also, if anyone has magnet links or hashes for the Sony leak files, maybe you could post those here.
I would, but I forgot where I reddit.
