Pirate Bay documentary now streaming, up for download on (surprise!) The Pirate Bay

Pirate Bay documentary now streaming, up for download on (surprise!) The Pirate Bay

Means back in 2010, filmmaker Simon Klose petitioned people on Kickstarter for $ 25,000 to employ an expert to video editor. The pro’s task? Sorting through and modifying over 200 hours of footage Klose had actually tape-recorded that chronicles the trip of The Pirate Bay’s 3 founders throughout their trial. Now, over two years later on and after the case’s conclusion, the documentary has premiered at the Berlin International Film Celebration and is now readily available for your seeing satisfaction. Sure, you could watch the whole hour and twenty minute-long affair in 1080p on YouTube, but what would be more fitting than legally downloading it (thanks to an imaginative commons license) through The Pirate Bay? Hit the surrounding source link to begin downloading TPB AFK: The Buccaneer Bay Far from Keyboard, or head past the break for the full film.Com mentsVia: Boing BoingSource: The Buccaneer Bay Far from Keyboard (YouTube)

GROG ME: Homemade Pirate Chest Beer Cooler Mod

pirate-chest-cooler-1.jpg

This is a wooden pirate chest built around an Igloo beer cooler by redditor ShutUpLori (seriously Lori — I can barely hear myself think) for his boss. What kind of boss asks you to mod a cooler into a pirate chest is beyond me, but they sound like a pretty good one. My old boss was always asking me to do lame work like pick his kids from school and stuff like that and I was always, “No way, I hate your kids!” and he was all, “But you’re the NANNY.” I knew I never should have quit my job at the gas station.

Hit the jump for a couple more pictures, hit the reddit link in the article to see shots of the actual build process.

Defcon 20 visitors get their own ‘pirate’ cellular network in Ninja Tel, exclusive One V to match

Defcon 20 visitors get their own 'pirate' cellular network in Ninja Tel, exclusive One V to match

The annual Defcon hacking meetup produces its share of special creations. You understand you’re in for something unique when also your entrance badge is an experience. Defcon 20 could be winding to a close, but about 650 visitors might just have the fondest memory of all: accessibility to a private, ad hoc GSM carrier from Ninja Networks. While the cumulative’s Ninja Tel is really an invite to a party at the Rio Hotel, where the lone cell internet site operates out of a van, it lets the privileged couple of call and text each other to their hearts’ content over cellular and WiFi. The network operators can unsurprisingly eavesdrop on any of the entirely unencrypted calls– this is a hacker’s convention, after all– however we do not think guests mind after getting a similarly uncommon, tailored HTC One V for free of charge to make the calls in question. The Android 4.0 phone gets special perks like triggering a neighboring vending appliance with Qualcomm’s AllJoyn or making applications on the spot with Google’s Integrated Development Environment. Managers can easily also reflash the One V to hop on AT&T or T-Mobile afterwards. Merely don’t anticipate to see Ninja Tel popping up in your hometown anytime soon; when Defcon shuts its doors, the cellular network shuts down.

ISPs say blocking The Pirate Bay doesn’t affect P2P traffic

The Pirate Bay (Padded for 3:2)

It’s been 2 months since governments in the Netherlands and UK bought ISPs to prevent BitTorrent search engine The Pirate Bay. Now, the supplier have exposed that the block has done incredibly little to minimize the quantity of peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic on their networks. TorrentFreak cites significant Dutch ISP XS4All as stating BitTorrent traffic actually went up after the block. instead of down. UPC, one more major ISP in the Netherlands, states that although there was a small traffic reduction right away after the ban, traffic quickly returned to regular levels. 2 further ISPs, KPN and Ziggo, agreed that prohibiting The Pirate Bay has little influence on P2P traffic as a whole.

” Volumes are currently essentially back to where they were before.”

I.

Sail That Mother Into My Yard!: Pirate Ship Fire Pit

pirate-ship-firepit.jpg

Yaaaar — set sail for smores!

That…is a nice setup. To the right of the ship you can even see some swords for roasting hot dogs/marshmallows/squirrels. So yeah, this pirate ship fire pit: you want it, I want it, let’s go steal it. Then we can alternate ownership on weekends — I’ll even let you have the first one! “You’re gonna call the police on me, aren’t you?” Already hid a dead body on your property to seal the deal.

Thanks to my buddy Terry, who I refuse to go camping with anymore because he never puts up his tent until it’s dark and too late and then wants to share mine. He’s a creeper.

Microsoft Messenger blocking links to The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay (Padded for 3:2)

If you’re a Microsoft Messenger user who happens to drop your friends links to The Pirate Bay, it looks like you’ll have to use another chat service. At this moment, links to The Pirate Bay are blocked when trying to send them through Microsoft Messenger — the service spits back an automated reply reading “the link you tried to send was blocked because it was reported as unsafe.” This occurs when using Microsoft’s native clients as well as when trying to send through third-party tools like Adium or Pidgin. It doesn’t appear to be part of any “anti-piracy” initiative, however — links to sites like Demonoid worked without incident. Given the fact that The Pirate Bay is crawling with all manner of seedy advertising banners, it’s…

A Fleet Of Pirate Bay Aerial Server Drones? Why Not?

zip_tpb

A slightly cryptic announcement by the Pirate Bay yesterday has the Internet speculating whether the site might have accidentally posted their April Fools joke early. “We’re going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air.”

You can be skeptical, it’s all right. One does not simply launch a fleet of autonomous server drones. But the fundamental idea of physically inaccessible data is compelling even if this first, perhaps jesting, plan disappears into thin air.

We’re just starting so we haven’t figured everything out yet. But we can’t limit ourselves to hosting things just on land anymore. These Low Orbit Server Stations (LOSS) are just the first attempt. With modern radio transmitters we can get over 100Mbps per node up to 50km away. For the proxy system we’re building, that’s more than enough.

Crazy, sure. But how crazy?

The immediate concerns are obviously energy and weight. But a simple system (they mention the Raspberry Pi) coupled to an efficient radio unit and GPS wouldn’t draw much more power than a smartphone, nor would it weigh much. As for getting it aloft (which isn’t just for fun; it increases radio range and of course makes the device troublesome to shut down), some people are thinking quadrocopters or the like, but it’s more likely that a semi-permanent lift method would be used – balloons, for instance, with some propellers to keep it in position. A few square feet of solar panels should suffice for the device, and the passive lift would keep it in the air even on cloudy days. But with today’s prices and materials, it would probably be expensive and fairly unreliable.

At any rate, the engineering isn’t so much the interesting part as the idea of bypassing the existing infrastructure and providing a true “cloud” solution to the distribution of data. Naturally you couldn’t have whole datacenters floating around, so the actual data will in fact be on the ground, whether it’s on a user’s device or out there somewhere and owned only via permissions. So this idea would be more like an indestructible meta-net where people can exchange critical meta-information like magnet links and hashes.

But at the same time, the whole air-server thing does seem a bit grandiose. Why not a mesh of cheap routers with USB sticks for storage, sitting on top of buildings or stuck to the tops of telephone poles? Perhaps this too will emerge, but it may be that a centralized effort by a motivated party (i.e. the Pirate Bay) needs to lead the way. International waters too have been used in the past for this kind of thing.

And on the off chance (not that unlikely) that this was just a bit of a joke, it was the best kind of joke: the kind that makes you think.

Pirate Bay Servers Take Refuge In Secret Mountain Cave


If your website is so internationally controversial that you’ve got Interpol and RIAA secret police knocking on your door every other day, it pays to be a bit circumspect when it comes to hosting. But only the most paranoid (justifiably or not) will go so far as to keep their servers in a top-secret cave in rural Sweden.

The Pirate Bay has been the target of numerous legal threats, some of which have had recourse to physical removal of the servers operating the site, so a secret location (or three) is an important step to keep the long arm of the law (and the longer arm of the multinationals) out of striking distance.

Those are the new servers, to the right. Yes, they are inside a cave. People really do that.

They’re working on a few hardware upgrades, and I was surprised to learn that the whole site is hosted on just 17 machines. Granted they are serving mostly small files and lots of text comments, but that really is just an incredibly small number of servers for such a high-profile site. Compare to Facebook, which has tens of thousands of servers in just one datacenter.
