I used to use torrents, and Disney effectively made me stop after I downloaded a movie for my three year old son.

Since then I started to use http//www.grabaid.com , a service that allows you to easily download from the Usenet at 500+KB/sec. It used to be free forever, but now they only give you one free month. I pay $15/ month for one of their larger plans, and do not feel the need to spend $80/ month for all of the channels I would need just for the TV programming, not to mention the ‘illegal’ movies.

Worth a shot, looks like thepiratebay and isohunt will not last forever. ThePirateBay has been tricky lately. (I still use torrents for music)

Hi everybody,
I took the time of downloading and reading the paper, something that apparently nobody here did.
The article title is misleading because id does not represent what the paper actually says.
The entire page 5 is dedicated to say how well hash-based detection methods work, to conclude that “Blacklisting based on file hashes or other file IDs
can provide a viable way to severely limit the
distribution of copyright-protected content.”
Sorry to wake you up, but Ipoque here is only trying to sell a hash-based detection system. period.

“First, and most importantly, content providers need to provide other high-quality, well priced and easily accessible online content. New business models are inevitable. In the long run, this will make illegitimate sharing of copyright-protected material through the Internet a lot less interesting.”

Bingo. Somebody is finally getting it.

Adapt. The. Business. Model.

Let's say that tomorrow the pirate bay decided to change their model. They decide that they're going to sell cracked digital content (music, software, movies, etc). They aren't going to pay the original artists/creators anything. They're just flat-out making money selling other people's work and becoming millionaires. Further, let's say that Swedish law was okay with this. You're arguing that there is absolutely nothing anyone could do to stop this rip-off because it would somehow violate the pirate bay's "rights" and any pressure to stop this rip-off would "be a the first step for the country to become an authoritarian state."? I call BS. But, according to your argument, this should be perfectly 100% okay as long as Swedish law was okay with this. Obviously, something is wrong if that's true.
