[QUOTE]PERU: Hugely popular P2P file sharing website The Pirate Bay (TPB) has been forced to undergo sixth domain name change during current year, following crackdown by authorities in different countries. The file-sharing site is famous destination for pirates and copyright law violators as they can find illegal download links to almost everything ranging from software, music, videos and host of other files “free of cost”. Website is continuously “on the run” since April 2012, when an injunction forced ISPs in UK to deny access to the site, other countries followed the suit. TPB has been kicked out of countries like Sweden, Iceland, Greenland and is currently seeking shelter in smaller countries with less stringent copyright laws. It seems that internet planet is proving too small for TPB as it was forced to wrap up its .sx domain hosted in the Caribbean island of Saint Maarten as well. After closure of .sx domain, TPB is currently being hosted under Peruvian domain thepiratebay.pe. This, too, might be a temporary stop for TPB as Peru is part of Trans-Pacific Partnership, trying to figure out ways to curb pirated used of Hollywood’s precious content without paying for it.”[/QUOTE]

It's a good thing ICANN is registering more and more top-level domains because at this rate The Pirate Bay will run out of them
TPB said that they're switching to a system (if they every do run out of options for domains) that will soon make changing domains obsolete - something to do with PirateBrowser.
[QUOTE]The TPB team is working on a new BitTorrent-driven browser that would allow the users to store and share different files with other users without the support of central hosting, thus passing the need for any domain name.
The insider close to TPB told TorrentFreak that the users should wait for the new PirateBrowser, then these domains would stand "irrelevant."
"Once that is available then all links and sites will be accessible through a perfectly legal piece of browser software and the rest of it will be P2P, with no central point to attack via the legal system."[/QUOTE]

Wow, that's actually a really really good idea.
oh so that's why i couldn't enter the other one

And then they invent the concept of "illegal software".
Or, I'm sure there's some way they could declare links to that browser installer illegal on the basis that it provides access to links to copyrighted material. Though I guess it's a lot harder to stop an installer from being distributed across the net than to take down a site through domain seizing.

The concept of illegal software already exists.

It's sort of a grey area, a bit-torrent based browser would have just as many legal applications and it'd probably be a really useful tool for software development and such, it'd be interesting to see where they go with it
I could see a potential use for eliminating the need for SVN server hosts

Illegal as in "if we find this on your computer you're going to jail" (not just bootleg)? Please do share.
so piratebrowser will be a lot like limewire except without all the viruses and spam (hopefully)

Yes, AFAIK Microsoft COFFEE is illegal if you aren't a US Federal agent (in the US at least), and DECAF, the program used to counteract COFFEE is also illegal.
Not sure why I'm being rated funny/disagree. You can go look both of these up and find that having them is illegal and you will get arrested if you are caught.

I'm sure they'd get a little bit angry at you if you had an executable that could take down the whole government's data system.
But [I]as if[/I].
its like they are sailing
fucking hell i cant torrent my linux distros if the domain keeps changing
Don't worry guys, Internet legislation here is so lax they might as well anchor ship and light fireworks in celebration
Congress is working on a cybercrime law/act/thing, but they're more useless than the US goverment, any law they pass is going to do more harm than good.

When Hollywood starts moaning again, big papa US will go to Peru and get all politicians to rush out some law to kick the pirate bay out as well.
