Twitter PostsPirates Walking The Plank
We have, ourselves, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Internets, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.Even though large parts of Internets and many old and famous trackers have fallen or may fall into the grip of the (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) and all the odious apparatus of MPAA rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the ef-nets and darknets, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Internets, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the baywords.org, we shall fight on the /. and on the digg, we shall fight in the courts; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, the Internets or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Anon Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in Cerf’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Arrrr, they be walkin’ the plank tho’ they speak. No matter what they try to do they will be shut down eventually. Yes, yes, everyone knows file sharing is illegal according to the MPAA and FBI and INTERPOL and whoever all else. Sad to say though, everyone has done it at least once that I know personally, and usually for things as innocuous as Linux distro downloads. Music, movies, TV shows and software are among the most popular things to download and People are trying to find work arounds to stay annonymous. Is there such thing as annononimity on the internet? I don’t think so, not even with things like the Tor Network, famous for Onion routing. I do not say the biggest torrent tracker online will be shut down lightly. I have followed a number of trackers’ demise in the recent years, and sad to say, no matter how hard The Pirate Bay fights back, they will lose the war. So many have gone under, and it will never stop till somehow one of two things happens: one, piracy will be legalized (yeah, right) or two, all internet piracy has been shut down (might I give another mighty yeah, right).
The science of bit torrent is amazing, and I have read many an article concerning how it all works. Sadly the purpose of this editorial is to express my dismay in the fight The Bay puts up. It’s inevitable, whatever global server hosts them will be brought down, no matter what business proposal is made to save The Bay will come to a crushing end. It’s just sad, and they should learn to put up the white flag of surrender.
I find it amazing that there are so many people out there, bloggers mainly, who feel they are anonymous and free in the wide open interwebs. They can do what they want, say what they want, and no one can ever find them. What it really comes down to is that the vast majority of people (mainly the victims of their poor behavior on sites like youtube) may not be able to, The ones who can are all busy killing off one or another of the millions of piracy sites lurking in the seedy underbelly of the internet.
What does this ultimately mean? the internet is never going to change, there will be insults, innocents, sick websites, and piracy until the day the last Server burns out.
–hmmm this comment almost seems pointless.
