Hmmm… let’s see it this way: weren’t Sweden’s politicians so easily corruptible, lobbyists from Hollywood wouldn’t have had a chance to sway Sweden’s copyright law in the wrong direction in recent years.

But to save Sweden’s honor: it’s ALSO the country with the highest pirate party votes worldwide… which is pretty encouraging despite Big Content’s underhanded tactics. I’ve not written Sweden off (yet), and hope that our Swedish friends will keep up the good fight.

they will eventually realize their losing in the big picture and will embrace p2p. all it takes is for some of these old guys who are empowered to die off. then younger guys who arent yet too greedy and paranoid will change the course of their ship.

cant wait

I’m going to have to e-mail Lesley Stahl and get some info about this…

They even claim it’s TPB successor hahaha.. What do you guys smoke? Gimme some please hahahah

MAFIAA, being your clowns since P2P was born.

For fucks sake, we might as well sue God for making humans that could share illegal files with each other!

Not all Americans are greedy, please stop bashing the rest of us.

I could point out the attempted greed of a certain Swedish company* that backfired on them, but I won’t.

Oops, slipped out.

*Name not mentioned because I will not give them any free advertisement.

I hope politicians will have the spine not to give in to the big bully-boy of countries (aka USA) this time around, like they did with TPB.

Byebye TPB tracker, even byebye OpenBitTorrent tracker… it will make NO DIFFERENCE.

We oppose and protest the greed of mega-corporations by sharing their work for free.

If they weren’t such gluttonous pigs and charged a reasonable price (considering their packaging and distribution overheads for digital copies is pretty much ZERO) – rather than trying to keep the price the same when everyone knows it’s a lot cheaper for them now…

They might not be in this mess.

I will continue to protest and express my outrage at their extortion through the action of sharing. If they can’t be fair in their pricing, I won’t comply – no matter how many judges and politicians they bribe.

As a backbone admin I agree, but it’s more complicated than that. Right now, most network operators allow every IP to freely connect to every other IP of their own and all other remote ASes… which is fine and great for DHT.

However, what would we do when this internal communication will be severely curtailed by new, even more paranoid laws, and that we network operators may only allow traffic from end users to a white list of Government/WIPO pre-approved destinations (like websites and such)?

Without internal connections between peers, DHT necessarily collapses.

However, VoIP, Skype et. al, which rely on P2P by design, will ALSO collapse… and that’s currently the ONLY thing holding our corrupt lawmakers back from enacting a pure no-P2P law.

That’s why we need to develop a lot more P2P protocols and (legit) applications, and make the whole population (not only file sharers) depend heavily upon them (just like VoIP), so that such an anti-P2P law will never be approved, no matter how much cash the entertainment industry offers to the lawmakers.

Don’t forget Wall Street.

Portlane should string the MPAA along for a few months to waste their money… then OBT could just turn off their tracker anway and case closed.

Public trackers are dead in the water now that DHT/PEX is working so well.

Yeah, how do we stick it to the oil companies? They make BILLIONS and claim its made overseas not from raising the price of gas. I’m calling BS on that.

It’s impossible to bring down DHT, or take DHT to court because people who use DHT are DHT!

p2p can save p2p in my opinion, go DHT!

Good point man, why not go for sites like Rapidshare and Megaupload? They’re the ones selling premium accounts..
Bit torrent is mainly non-profit, seems unfair.

Your ignorance is laughable.

Everyone knows Al Gore invented the internet at the same time he invented the vibrating buttplug and climate change.
