“In the most literal sense, pirates are trading our freedom’s online for a harddrive full of digitally stolen entertainment and that, it appears, will be piracy’s ultimate legacy. Sad.”

Well, if you step back and take a look at the results… 1.7, what, petabytes after terabytes? And, that’s only counting the torrents indexed by one site. That’s one freaking large datastore. If you think about it, P2P and the pirates that use it have amassed the most amazing repository of culture humanity has ever seen. It makes the world’s greatest libraries seem like hotdog stands.

Sure, it’s illegal; how could it be otherwise? But, eventually, all that data will become legal, and it will all be there, well here, and there, and everywhere else. Gotta love a distributed datastore. This will be the pirates ultimate legacy, long after we’ve started laughing about those old stupid copyright laws.

P2P and this distributed datastore is right up there with Wikipedia and OSM on the Web2.0 list.

Yes, more questions would be great, even warranting a follow up.
What OS is he using for those servers would be my first question.

Personally, Im hoping for an interview with the admin of isohunt. TPB says that “we want it to be okay, so it is.” I wonder what Gary Fung will have to say.

I really don´t think it´s a good idea to continue this series of interviewing torrent-site admins. By posting pics and various perhaps “sensitive” information, you´re making it easier for the “wolves to catch the sheeps”.
There is a reason to why the “scene people” are keeping quiet !

I like how isohunt’s front page blog posts about newspaper articles tell us more about the guy than your ‘telling you about this guy’ article. What does he do for fun? Where does he hang out? Boxors or breefs? Inquiring minds want to know.

Wait — ISOHunt? I thought they were shut down by some court order or something and went legit a couple years ago? I distinctly remember some news story about them that made me stop using them…?

It appears the servers are located at 151 Front, they are probably there since that facility is probably the largest telecommunications hub in Canada.
