TorrentReactor Launches Proxy to Circumvent Torrent Site Censorship

TorrentReactor is making a stand against the increasing censorship efforts targeted at BitTorrent sites. Less than two days after an Italian court ordered local ISPs to censor the popular torrent site, they have launched a free proxy to circumvent the blockade. The proxy, operating from the fitting domain “come.in,” works not only with TorrentReactor, but also with The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents and Torrents.net.

torrentreactorThis week an Italian court ordered all Internet providers to block access to the domain names and IP-addresses of both TorrentReactor.net and Torrents.net

The verdict follows a police investigation that was initiated after complaints by the local music industry. Previously, courts had already ordered similar blockades against The Pirate Bay and KickassTorrents.

The TorrentReactor team are not amused by the blockade and have quickly taken action to allow their Italian users to regain access to the site.

“It is really sad to see authorities intervene with the free and open internet. Pressure from media conglomerates is not doing any good and people should definitely defend their rights and freedoms,” the TorrentReactor team tells TorrentFreak.

Over the past 24 hours the site’s operators have worked hard to get a proxy service operational and it eventually went live a few hours ago. The proxy site “Come.in” allows people to access TorrentReactor when it’s blocked, and it also works with the three other BitTorrent sites that are currently censored in Italy.

TorrentReactor is one of the most popular torrent sites in the country. According to the Italian prosecution 600,000 locals visit TorrentReactor each month, generating 4 millions page views. In total 14% of the site’s users come from Italy.

For the time being these users can still reach the site through Come.in and other proxies, but the TorrentReactor crew is encouraging the public to speak out against such censorship efforts.

“When a ruling like this is made the public should oppose it and have their voice heard. We hope those in Italy and other countries can stand up and change the situation for the better,” they say.

The music industry won’t be very happy with TorrentReactor’s move, and they are likely to ask for an injunction against Come.in as well. The same happened last year when the authorities shut down the general purpose proxy site proxyitalia.com, because it allowed Italians to access The Pirate Bay

And so the whack-a-mole continues…

          ”without good business piracy is destroying the internet” Well he’s not 100% wrong. He basically contradicts himself by saying that. I think one of the main reasons for piracy is becoming a way to avoid big corporations with an agenda in mind.

        lol You’re completely blinded by their little facade as are many people. They continue to “fight the good fight” while they’re turning courtrooms all over the world into their little extortion machines. They’re leaking their own software just so they can extort people.

        DVD 20$
        Pirated DVD 700$ – 8500$ on the norm.

        You may be fooled by their little cloak-and-dagger game but I’m not. It’s a conclusion I did not want to reach but after watching so many people being extorted it seems very likely that I am correct.

    this cesorship is nothing but bull shit and a waste of time. the obvious answer to all of this is for the entertainment industries to stop being dictatorial, self-interested bullies and start listening to and catering for the very people they rely on for income. if i ran a site that charged for downloads but had a minimum amount of hits in relation to another that supplied the same files, but in user friendly formats etc and for free, i would look very seriously at what i needed to change in order to compete!

      Would this not cause issues such as other proxy sites (which don’t specifically link to a blocked site) being flagged as illegal? Also its doubtful how much of an effect that would have, given the number of proxy sites running, and how easy it is to set one up.

        • Scary_Devil_Monastery

          @Smacko

          He claims he’s not being paid at all, trying to “enlighten” pirates. So for four years on various swedish pirate party blogs he has kept going on, getting smacked down five times every time he comes up with yet another straw man, guilt-by-association argument, outright lie and/or smear campaign.

          And yet bravely soldiering on. Because, as he himself has it, his “moral compass” compels him to. The same compass unable to wrap itself around the concept of burden of proof, presumed innocence, or that the UN human rights are, in fact, not revocable privileges.

          Imagine it…the guy has spent the last four years making a complete and utter idiot of himself on every blog where he posts his drivel. And he claims he’s not getting paid.

          Makes you wonder where his obsessions comes from. I’m leaning to the idea that it’s part of the same problem which has him failing to reconcile the real world with what goes on inside his mind.

        When exactly are they going to start coming up with anti-piracy measures that work at all? 10 years from now? 20? Forever and a day?

        • Realist

          You’re in denial. Piracy has been declining precisely because of these measures. It’s becoming more and more of a hassle and it’s not worth the risk.

        • Scary_Devil_Monastery

          @Realist

          “You’re in denial. Piracy has been declining…”

          Now who is in denial…?

          According to the real world numbers piracy has decreased only in a very few select venues – namely ones where free alternatives such as Spotify were implemented.

          And even in France where HADOPI can arguably be acknowledged as the most draconian anti-pirate tool yet in existence, the effort has turned out to be made of fail. Expensive fail at that.

          I’ll grant you this – obviously noticeable piracy has indeed declined by a few %. At the same time that VPN subscribers have increased by a factor of 20+ between 2006 and now.

          And as for “becoming more of a hassle” and “more of a risk” even in France you are more likely to be struck by lightning than as an avid unprotected filesharer to ever be censured for your deeds.

          You need to work on that nickname of yours. Last time I checked “Realist” is not defined by having a delusional world view not corresponding to causal reality.

      It’s fantastic that you have opinions about how the laws should be, but EU laws already state the exact opposite, for very thought through sustainable reasons. You know, thought through sustainable reasons, those which you never seem to be able to come up with, when asked why you think the things you do.

      Secondly, this article is not about illegal sites. As you are fully aware of, unmoderated torrent sites are fully legal, both to own, to operate, to host, to visit, and to download torrents from, in every single country in the world, including Sweden.

        “Guest made a fair point. applying your logic then we should ban the butter knife because people can stab you in the throat with it..”

        Not at all, no technology needs to be banned. It’s USE of technology to commit crimes that should be handled. Setting up a proxy to enable continued use of a blocked illegal site should definitely be illegal. Setting up proxies to perfectly legal sites is of course legal.

        • Fredrika

          > “Not at all, no technology needs to be banned.”

          Because you say so?

          > “Setting up a proxy to enable continued use of a blocked illegal site should definitely be illegal.”

          Why should society use censorship? Do you have any basis for this conclusion, that says the society will benefit from such censorship? Because all evidence that does exist from the last 500 years states the exact opposite(a well known fact), that censorship is never something good. It always hurts society.

          Secondly, an injunction that orders an ISP to block a site does not say that it is illegal for people to access the site, nor can an injunction decide that a site is illegal, or that anything is illegal. I’m guessing you still haven’t understood what an injunction actually is?

          Thirdly, can you please explain how your desired censorship would work with the concept of jurisdiction?

          Fourth, you are aware of the fact that TorrentReactor and all unmoderated torrent sites are fully legal in all countries in the entire world according to all relevant judicial systems, so how is your comment even relevant?

          > “Setting up proxies to perfectly legal sites is of course legal.”

          So if TorrentReactor, and let’s say Pirate Bay, is deemed fully legal in the country where they are hosted, then it should be legal to set up proxies for those sites?

          It doesn’t appear as if you have thought this through at all..

You and your cohorts of websiteS need to Shutdown. If you can’t practice a fair trade or business in physical or Internet service/trading you need to be shutdown.

    • Dude

      trololol

    • Who

      Umm. do you even read crap or do you just think that just because the US says law is the way they say it is?

      its has already been stated that the FBI was behind the user entrapment and that MU was caught in the middle. in other words the FBI/US/entertainment industry was in the wrong. NOT MU.

      • Dondilly

        With MU it wasn’t entrapment, the FBI misled the court.
        The files that the FBI claimed MU made available knowing they were infringing were files that came to light due to a previous search warrant issued in the ninjavideo investigation. MU cooperated fully and were instructed to not touch the accounts or inform the account owners as it would impede the case. KDC claims documentary evidence of these instructions. Then the FBI used the fact these files were still available as the basis of their indictment and seizure warrant. Essentially the FBI agent perjured himself in his sworn affidavid. It renders the seizure unlawful and the evidence gained from the seizure inadmissable. In short the FBI/DOJ nolonger have a case and a lot of egg on their faces.

    • Legacynettech

      You can download a small freeware utility I think to convert the PDF to a Word document. Unless there are photos and details and stuff, meaning if it’s just text, that could work though I don’t know if that font exists for Word.. Just an idea..

    I’d just like to point out that we are finally entering the stage of this 10-12 year migration where you are calling us names now, copycunts and fascists and rape supporters while the governments are seizing domains, closing websites, putting more and more in jail and for longer and longer terms, as increasing legislation continues to be proposed, as more surveillance is contemplated, as vpns and encryption used as infringement tools are now coming under scrutiny, and somehow you think this is going to get better in the future for unfettered piracy.

    Good. This is working fine.
    I love the the way you think.

    • Anyone

    • Guest

      Migration? So are pirates breaking more or less law over the last five years or ten years? Are you whining that there’s less privacy or cheering for initiatives that result in less privacy? Are you going to be advocating for the banning out data storage devices next, like – all computers?

      Make up your mind, Anon!

      • Anon

        I laugh when I think that you think you will be unfettered in the future.

        • Guest

          “Unfettered”? Unfettered in what? Handing in disk drives for homework? Transferring huge project files to classmates? Wow, you really think the only reason why anyone would need a computer would be to download music, don’t you?

          Might be a bit hard for you to grasp. You can’t even decide if pirates are breaking more or less law in the past five or ten years! How the hell did you even graduate from kindergarten if this is how you count?

          Ah, well, I suppose you’d get a job at the MPAA – I hear they’re experts at pulling incoherent and inconsistent numbers out of their ass!

        • Anon

          @ Guest.
          I love this comment. copy and paste it to a savable document. I “liked” it, too, so one of those votes is mine. You do the work for us.

          If, as a pirate I mean, you find yourself wondering why the momentum is now with law and enforcement, and government on top of it all, after a decade of education, studying and respecting your rights, Guess What? Now, legislation is on the move, you sound surprised. If you ever wonder why? Reread your comment. They aren’t intimidated.

          If you really want to reference tech that helps you hide online in this malfeasance, I think that’s a gift to us. That’s a great idea Guest, it’s so hip, really, go and break the law and try to hide online. (laughing)

          I’ll follow the laws in the real world while i’m online, too, and happily live with you using tech to hide online everyday. And I’ll earn a consulting fee you cannot imagine from government, your tax money, to set up teams to hunt and find you, too. Fair game, right? :-D

          And by the way, these are Senators and Congressman, not you brilliant TF posters, in virtually every country on the planet at this moment, studying this online digital ransacking you are endorsing, and preparing their support and participation in the laws that will slowly bring ID to the net. YOU, motherfuckers, are bringing ID to the network.

          Slowly at first, but as hiding is used to offend, the response gets just brutal in the long run, same as always, same as it is. It’s amazing how over your head you are in the realistic, bigger picture. Sometimes I wonder if you are even thinking beyond your TF reply. You win, dude, go down in history.

          Keep endorsing breaking the law while the internet gets settled, if that’s where you want to be. And keep raising the ante and blaming the escalation on “them.”
          :-)

          This is better than anything, anything EVER Hollywood could have ever come up with. Hollywood is great, the best movies of all time, but they SUCK compared to this, REAL LIFE, Real pirates, really infringing online behavior, really bitching that law enforcement is coming as the internet matures, a few noble, anarchic, foolish, kinda stylish but not terribly smart, inherently self-defeatest, selfish beyond human f*cking comprehension, pirates. You are sport.

        • Guest

          @Anon

          What lawbreaking am I endorsing? Is the usage of data storage and transferal of huge files illegal? Do non-pirates not ever need to do these things? How, exactly, are these things morally wrong, or even intimidating? If you think that the above reply of mine was supposed to come close to intimidation, I don’t know how your brain has been wired together. You see crimes and threats where there aren’t any!

          What was your last great enforcement effort? SOPA? ACTA? Now I understand that you’re going back to your roots in suing little kids. What next? Grandmothers? Dead people? Laser printers? More wrong people? C’mon, Anon – the Georgians failed at it, the Victorians failed at it. Do you really think initiatives suing children and monstrously exaggerated punishment will fly in the 21st century?

          If Andrew Crossley, Evan Stone and John Steele are your role models for fighting piracy and you’re willing enough to call EVERYONE a pirate (for fuck’s sake, you don’t even know who I am! And you automatically think I’ve pirated terabytes of content, do you?) – you can have fun watching public discontent grow. We’re already paying your congressmen and senator heroes in taxes, we pay blank media levies – and we still have to take your crap and be called pirates? Do you think the general public likes and enjoys being treated as criminals?

          But hey – it’s your world, not mine. Keep addling yourself with industry Cowper’s fluid; I know they love you for it.

          You laugh at the idea that there will be an internet or that people will have admin rights on their computers?

          See, one of the problems with your claims is that they assume black magic will be invented tomorrow – or that we will all have abolished the electronic revolution as “inconvenient”.

          Exactly whom are you trying to convince with that load of ripe bull****?

          “If you really want to reference tech that helps you hide online in this malfeasance, I think that’s a gift to us. That’s a great idea Guest, it’s so hip, really, go and break the law and try to hide online. (laughing)”

          The sound of one hand clapping I now know to be that of an epic facepalm.

          Bravo, Anon. Nice little diatribe of nonsense. Of course we can reference the tech that keeps us hidden. Sadly for you, that helps you not at all. Indeed, we love it to see tech talked about more often because anonymization and encryption is already proven to be far more resilient when it’s commonly known.

          “And I’ll earn a consulting fee you cannot imagine from government, your tax money, to set up teams to hunt and find you…”

          Judging realistically by your claims visavi how the real world works, my offhand judgment is that you couldn’t hunt down a dead elephant lying on your own porch successfully. Honestly, when you manage to earn that nobel prize in math by successfully tracing and tracking even a single user of Stealthnet or Freenet, then you can come back here.

          Until then, however, your claims that you will successfully use spells of blackest magic to defeat science will have to stand quite unchallenged. We aren’t winning because government doesn’t understand the tech involved – we are winning because in actual practice information control simply isn’t possible. In order for it to be, government must first get a hundred-year head start on any new technology and ensure it has access to quantum computers straight out of Star trek.

          “Slowly at first, but as hiding is used to offend, the response gets just brutal in the long run, same as always, same as it is….”

          The same as it always has, yes. Which is the reason we always win. Remind me again, “Anon”, how whenever you open your mouth and gleefully applaud rape as a valid penalty for filesharing, The average citizen starts applauding and flocking to your banner? Oh, that isn’t happening? But it will, you say?

          And when every family in the US knows personally of someone who has been made to suffer those “withering and lifecrushing punishments” because they copied a file, you honestly believe any sane government will remain copyright-friendly? Maybe in Iran or Syrian.

          In the US though? The republicans will immediately heed their think tanks and adapt a solid anti-copyright stance in seconds. Unless the dems do the same, they’ll win.

          “Hollywood is great, the best movies of all time, but they SUCK compared to this, REAL LIFE…”

          History has always trumped Hollywood’s best efforts. sadly for you that means small minority industries never do manage to hijack all of the world.
          But I think I’m seeing the problem now – you’ve been living in films for so long you think actual history seems like a fantasy? If so that tells us two things.

          One, how you can consistently post such drivel – apparently believing it.
          And two, that you need to seek professional help.

          Then again…your delusions do make you uniquely suited for a certain kind of job, so if that makes you happy…

      Breaking -what- law? -Whose- law? There is one internet and many countries. What law is being broken by accessing a website that simply indexes content?

    • Scary_Devil_Monastery

      “…that we are finally entering the stage…”

      No, that stage first came around in the 50′s when the cassette tape was invented. Right before we won and “fair use” was established.
      Then with the VCR. Right before we won and “fair use” was established.
      .
      (Repeat)
      .
      (Repeat)
      .
      …and now we’re at the digital domain, and once again at that stage.

      As before, with every new attempt you make all you find is that it didn’t work. See, whatever the law will say or not tomorrow may be up for grabs, but we already have the fact-sheet in hand to be able to point out that what the law says will remain as irrelevant as the laws which decided Rosa Parks had to sit at the back of the bus.

      You people are already at the point where the laws are starting to harm innocent and legal consumers and businesses while the pirates are blithely sailing on. In essence the copyright industry has declafred war on the rest of the world. And what is really sad is that morons such as your own low self actually believe you can win that one.

      Statements like the one you just made is what makes it so very hard to separate you from the guys trying to troll under your nick. They are finding it very hard to mimic you while being more nonsensical.

      “fascists and rape supporters”

      You literally advocate fascism. You have admitted to this. You literally support rape. You have admitted to this.

      You’re called a fascist and a rape supporter because that’s what you factually are.

      “seizing domains”

      Accomplishes nothing.

      “closing websites”

      Either doesn’t work because the websites spring back to life soon afterwards, or because they’re quickly replaced with new websites.

      “putting more and more in jail and for longer and longer terms”

      Is useless because filesharers aren’t deterred by fear.

      “increasing legislation continues to be proposed”

      And struck down.

      “as more surveillance is contemplated”

      More surveillance is circumvented.

      “as vpns and encryption used as infringement tools are now coming under scrutiny”

      The MAFIAA is learning the painful truth that math can’t be outlawed.

      “unfettered piracy”

      Do you know why piracy is unfettered to begin with? Spoiler: because nobody can do a damn thing to actually stop it.

      Keep living in a fantasy world, though. It gets more amusing with every pasing day.

          Yet you can’t seem to refute anything of what he actually wrote…

        • Scary_Devil_Monastery

          As all of his claims are empirically verifiable by simply looking at the history books, I’m guessing you have a problem reconciling reality with whatever it looks like inside your own head.

          Remind me. What happened to PIPA, SOPA and ACTA even after this legislation was watered down to nothing?

          You want the actual links to where “Anon” makes the claim that rape is a suitable penalty for filesharing? Or the one where he admits to being fine with being a fascist?

          Seizing domains and closing websites…point, please, to one single instance where piracy diminished or the websites closed either failed to come back or two more did not spring up to take their place?

          And I’m very, very curious by what black sorcery you intend to make the claim that VPN’s and encryption will suddenly come under government control. Since the only one which has control over how a computer communicates is the computer’s owner.

          So far every statement made by guest is indeed 100% true. But I wouldn’t expect the newest “Suddenly appearing copyright maximalist under random nick” to adapt to reason and logic without a fight.

    This is like blocking people from reading the news.
    I often go to many sites that use torrents or file locker services
    and i see the same stuff on them all and i choose 1 source for one specific file etc.
    I may use a filelocker for a TV episode and a torrent for another. But the logic behind this to me is I’m not even allowed to look (at what is indexed)
    So i see these sites as a NEWS source for what is happening.
    And for all people know i may even have a the legal right to do download..
    I don’t see any checking to see whether someone is coming from a country with laws that permit file sharing or that i may in fact be the original copyright holder or even a person doing research for a school paper or hell even a cop doing law enforcement work..
    The bottom line is under any all circumstances this behavior in the story says your guilty until proven innocent *at best.

    Must be nice to circumvent reality to suit your needs lol
    I have a conscience so i can’t afford to do that :(

    • Anon

      “This is like blocking people from reading the news.”

      Absolutely, and I’m delighted you recognized that. News gathers are very different from news aggregators. Google doesn’t collect it, Google aggregates the stories others write.

      Those “other’s” have enormous expenses, not the least salaries and travel, facilities and vehicles and accommodation for reporters, but also news bureaus that have rental costs, huge broadband connections, and leases and insurances and all sorts of other real world costs to witness, gather, write and publish the news. Through the day.

      If they offer it as a for-pay model, pay their price or do without.
      If they give up up free, feel free. But no one yet has figured out a way to publish excellent quality news everyday without charging a price, because they pay a huge price to get it. If you have a conscience, you pay for the work they have done so that you can consume.

          > “You know that no one “gets paid by the MPAA” to post here, right?”

          Actually, astroturfers is a real concept, and the Mpaa uses them as well as all lobby organisations does. Some are easy to spot, of which some have been here on Torrentfreak, and some are harder, but they are indeed real. Denying that they exist and post comments under news articles makes you look ignorant.

          > “You people just throw that out when someone says something you can’t refute.”

          No, people say it when someone resorts to obvious trolling through making unsubstantiated claims that are easily refutable, such as your comments regarding piracy being on a decline, despite the fact that actual numbers says that piracy increases every day globally, and that it in fact is easier than ever before to pirate.

          Or like when you lied about the fully legal site Torrentreactor trying to make money from publishing non-copyrighted information isn’t free speech, which it indeed is.

        • Scary_Devil_Monastery

          “You know that no one “gets paid by the MPAA” to post here, right?

          You people just throw that out when someone says something you can’t refute.”

          Actually, as Fredrika has it, astroturfing is very real and used by a fair amount of organizations wanting to push for a skewed view. “Speedboat veterans for truth” weren’t exactly the one and only version.

          And the reason we throw that out is when we make a factual, easily verifiable claim, and then someone like you rolls along and – in the same spirit and tone as the proven troll who just vanished – proceeds to “refute” by offering history revisionism and manifest falsehoods.

          Or, like you’ve done in this particular example, offer nothing.

          Then again, I personally do indeed doubt that anyone would be insane enough to offer Wal-Mart, Nejtillpirater, BobMail, “Anon” or you any money.

          I for one like to convince fence-sitters about the copyright industry by showing them selected tidbits of “nejtillpirater”‘s work. He’s one of the most potent recruiting tools we pirates have because his lies are so damn obvious.

          Same with Anon. And do please stick around, because there is no way anyone will fail to see the “honesty” of your own little put-downs.

        And? Are you saying that they deserve money or have a right to money because of that, without making any sales? They don’t.

        Are you saying that the responsibility for them making sales falls on anyone else than they themselves? It doesn’t.

        That’s not how self chosen entrepreneurship works. Failure to sell = they deserve to go under.

        > “If they offer it as a for-pay model, pay their price or do without.”

        Do without the goods or services that they sell. Pirates agree, pirates don’t care for the goods or services they sell. They don’t need them.

        > “If you have a conscience, you pay for the work they have done..”

        Incorrect. It’s impossible to pay for the work they have done, because you can not pay an entrepreneur for the work he has done of his own free will.

        And who are you to speak of a conscience? Remind me, aren’t you the same person who advocates fascism and rape of human beings?

        > “..so that you can consume.”

        People have no problem consuming, and they definitely don’t have to waste their money on useless products that holds no economical value to be able to to that. They can do it anyway.

        Not one single word of what you write takes the well established concept of the free market into account, and every single thing you propose are things that society already knows will damage itself and the economy, the US one in particular.

          There isn’t a single thing wrong with their business model. They produce a highly desired item. They offer it for sale. That is an excellent business model.

          That the laws weren’t being enforced until recently was the actual disruptive force, not the criminals themselves. There have always been criminals that take things they aren’t supposed to take. In a society this is mitigated by enforcement and punishment, which provides an amount of deterrence that is sufficient for business to continue.

          Trying to sell a product that has no economical value, something that no one wants to buy is by definition a faulty business model.

          > “They produce a highly desired item. They offer it for sale.”

          What’s offered for sale is goods or services, but content constitutes neither. Their goods and services have no economical value, because anyone can manufacture those goods and services for themselves.

          Had you studied economics you would have understood these fundamental facts.

          > “That is an excellent business model.”

          If it was excellent their would be no debate, and they would not need a legislative monopoly. Excellent business models function on their own on the free market without the interference of governments.

          > “There have always been criminals that take things they aren’t supposed to take.”

          But pirates don’t do that, now do they? You see, copying and manufacturing is not the same thing as taking.

          “There isn’t a single thing wrong with their business model. They produce a highly desired item. They offer it for sale. That is an excellent business model.”

          If what you claimed was true, I’d agree.

          Here’s the catch. Producing something once and then expecting to be paid for all perpetuity is NOT a valid business model.
          Indeed, that model shares more commonality with classical marxism than it does with anything Adam Smith would even recognize.

          If what you claimed could even be construed as tentatively true, every home carpenter and hobbyist baker would stand as equally guilty of pilfering business from IKEA and Wal-Mart. And the reason is that you are defending an artificially upheld monopoly based on restricting the property rights of every human being on the globe.

          Copyright is as much of an anathema to any model of capitalism as marxism is – which isn’t too surprising since it took a dictatorial feudal theocracy under Mary I to invent it as a censorship tool in the first place.

          So pretty please, with sugar on top, stop it with the casual lying.

          Hell, what you are saying is that it is an “excellent” business model in an age where water companies and a soda streamer ought – by your way of thinking – have rendered bottled water companies obsolete? Care to ask Evian what they made last year?

        Are you confusing hindu’s with Indian’s? Hindu refers to religious belief, Indian refers to nationality. You do not have to be a Hindu to be an Indian.

        Maybe you went to school in North America?

      • Scary_Devil_Monastery

        Only reason native americans are called “Indians” is because Columbus, being something of a stubborn asshat, never realized, in his lifetime, that he had not in fact circled the world and made landfall in India.

        Finding natives with a different skin color and a different language he assumed he’d simply landed in a part of India curiously denuded of elephants and saffron.

    What a previous commenter said about Tor is true,the military has stopped using it as it’s now not 100% secure anymore,it was until recently.Don’t forget it was started,invented, by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory back in 2002,

    • Scary_Devil_Monastery

      It never was 100% secure against a dedicated MitM-attack and that problem was known since inception. Sufficient resources can break it, though that still means you already need to know whom to follow and have extensive manpower and direct access to the infrastructure at your beck and call.

      Today of course, there are alternatives which are simpler and far more secure. Why even bother using TOR when even the simplest VPN available to a filesharer today – or an encrypted f2p client – offers better security?

    Tried the come.in link from here and it’s a no go.

    Tried it through Google search:
    “come.in is your first and best source for information about Come . Here you will also find topics relating to issues of general interest. We hope you find what you …” and it’s also a no go.

    Tried to get there from OpenDNS, BlockAID DNS and several Second Tier DNS servers in America and Europe and it’s….. a no go.

    if new pages are constantly having to be created for links to other sites we are not supposed to go to, isn’t the internet going to eventually have more linking sites than actual sites? and if this is going to be the direction us plebs are having to go in to get what we want(freedom and entertainment at the expense of sunglass, flared trouser make up gold chained spivs ruling the entertainment industry), then the futile 1984 ers up in their untouchable towers at central HQ are in for one hell of a shock, because i have just educated myself on how to provide links too, and i had never been anywhere near the internet, or a computer until 2009, in other words if i can do it, anyone can, so there. it has to be said, in their dying throes, the outdated cd and dvd market of the film and music oligarchs is putting up a fair fight, but sooner or later, the money will find another avenue to express itself and these leeches will go away and leave copywrong law to go the way of the sinclair C5/steam car/george bush and betamax tape

  • BobMail

    This actually appears to be the sort of overt act that the prosecutors are trying to lead these guys into committing, one where they intentionally try to circumvent the law to continue to allow piracy to flourish.

    My feeling is that these guys just signed up for a significant legal battle at some point in the future.

    • Fredrika

      > “..one where they intentionally try to circumvent the law..”

      You seem confused. It’s no illegal to visit these sites, nor is it illegal to download torrent files from them. An injunction ordering censorship is not a law that says anything else than that censorship should be out in place. It doesn’t say that it’s illegal so visit the site, it does not say that it’s illegal to offer proxies.

      Had you had any real life experience you would have known this.

      Maybe you should read up a bit on the law and how the judicial system actually works before commenting any further? That way you won’t look as ignorant and clueless when you troll.

    • Scary_Devil_Monastery

      What…you are claiming prosecutors are setting up a sting operation in order to entice people into committing fully legal acts?

      Are you ignorant or off your meds? My guess would be the former but given how often we’ve explained to you by now the difference between an injunction – equitable remedy – and a rule of law your claim of simply being ignorant doesn’t hold much credence anymore.

      Time for you to get yourself a new nick again, that one’s lost the credibility already.

  • Guest

    This is why some times I like my country, they never block any torrent website for us.

    PS:Even our prime minister said:Let the people download movies and music from the internet, what’s the big dill?

      yep he might have said tht…… we can say our politicians are atlest working for internet freedom

  • UraPhake

    There is something which all of the MAFIAA trolls here on TorrentFreak seem to completely (and conveniently) ignore:

    “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.” — John Gilmore, one of the founders of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

    This has always been true in the past and it will always be true in the future. The MAFIAA trolls can whine about file sharing until their dying day but it will all be for nought.

    “Nought,” as in what their opinions are worth as well.

    • Scary_Devil_Monastery

      Of course. But the average MPAA/RIAA/Ifpi troll must live by lies since any discourse using facts and reason has the copyright maximalists looking like idiots. Ones who are trying to argue against the fact that they lost the war.

      Whether we ARE on the receiving end of an astroturfer invasion or not doesn’t really matter since – for all intents and purposes – they completely and utterly lose credibility the very second anyone with basic facts shows up to put them straight.

      And that leaves the general impression they make as a solid condemnation of the cause they propose. Hell, I use a few of them as recruitment tools for piracy – they just sound that unreasonable.

      • UraPhake

        “Whether we ARE on the receiving end of an astroturfer invasion or not doesn’t really matter since – for all intents and purposes – they completely and utterly lose credibility the very second anyone with basic facts shows up to put them straight.”
        =-=-=

        I, for one, am very grateful that there are many here on TorrentFreak who are capable and willing to present facts instead of merely vitriol. Oh, the vitriol is good in small doses, but too much can sometimes make the rational appear irrational.

        That’s not directed at your comment(s), rather, to everyone in general.

        Let the trolls have arrogance.
        Let the trolls have ignorance.
        Let the trolls have desperation.
        Let the trolls have prevarication.

        Everything that’s left is ours.

        Cheers!
