- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+137They should develop a new search algorithm first...
- demizer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+104Dear Pirate Bay,
Please spend some of that server money on a better search system.
Signed,
Everyone but the MPAA. - inactive, on 10/17/2007, -12/+96http://d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
- xrspencer4x, on 10/10/2007, -9/+74now that MD source code was released.... they'll deffinately be able to know how to keep everything safe.
- astrofrank128, on 10/10/2007, -0/+50"this new tracker will be capable of blocking and/or logging known p2p vandals such as MediaDefender, BayTSP, MediaSentry and EZ2net. The new tracker will ensure the privacy of its users and is designed to be as efficient as possible, meaning more peers with less bandwidth."
Popular for a good reason. TPB not only fosters the rebirth of Suprnova, it also expands in its own direction and takes even more steps for privacy. Now all they need to do is fix up that search... - Hoxie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+42RAmen
- dolby, on 10/17/2007, -0/+37We can rebuild it faster, stronger then it was before me maties
- iDiggIt42, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35What the hell are you talking about?
- Rowen7, on 10/17/2007, -1/+31I bet it will be sentient.
- repete, on 10/10/2007, -3/+27Ad revenue? People click on ads? Wait...People see ads? :-)
- Jugalator, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Our Torrents on the Nets,
hallowed be your bits,
your trackers come,
your peers be done,
among pirates as in Heaven.
Give us today your daily warez.
Forgive us our leeching
as we forgive those who leech from us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from the RIAA.
For the Bay, the tubes, and the pirates
are yours now and for ever.
Share 'em. - Jebral, on 10/17/2007, -2/+22Probably not long.... happens all too often.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21May they forever be touched with His noodly appendage.
- selectodude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18The tracker sucks because it's reached its effective limit.
The search is completely useless though. Can't they use Google or something? - fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Because MD will continue using the methods every interested person knows about.....
- bratterscain, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17You forgot, this is Digg. I have no idea whether the one I'm replying to is an idiot or not and perhaps referring to something a little different. Also, what crawled up your panties?
- addakorn, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15"TPB = ***** m......"
I don't think your going to be very popular around here...... - MrNewbie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Demonoid's already back, just not for Canucks.
- bratterscain, on 10/10/2007, -7/+17***** me, bury this.
- jinxcy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11And I spent the whole day thinking my stupid router was blocking ports......
- gsmolders, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9the internet in burma was shut down by the authorities if i recall correctly.
- super_spyder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Weren't they going to do a "youtube" site too? what happened to that I was looking forward to it
- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12They should set up a swarming torrent tracker, that way there's no single point of failure and less worry over several sites tracking the same torrent or same media with redundant torrents. Plus if one tracker is taken down no one even sees downtime from it.
- serrebi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10nice! I'm sure more people will be using the bay after this is all installed and working.
- WhereAmI, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Don't worry I ***** it up too. Then Firefox spell check can't figure out what the hell I'm saying.
- Pilot85, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Yarrr!
- nullcodes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I mean a secure RSA or whatever public key encryption based system for dissidents bloggers to put out their files .. like videos of the Burma stuff .. without being jacked by the government. Yes yes i know about Tor etc. but one which is more popular mainstream used would be better and arouse their authorities less.
- ktetch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5yeah, of course, that figure is by taking the amount charged to the AD COMPANY, which as anyone with half a brain will know, is not what TPB actually gets. Then, you take out all the server costs, and bandwidth bills - you'll find the income is a lot less, and the expenses a lot more than the 0 they currently say.
More stupid, unsubstantiated figures from industry anti-democracy groups. - N3M3515, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6not to hijack but it would seem that Demoniod will be back soon.
- neeyo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4But I don't want to spend a lot of money...
- actorboy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Ralan:
A lot of people talk about a fair and reasonable length for copyright, but you'll also note a lot of people talk about downloading films and music that have just been released -- and in some cases even before official release. It would be nice to have a reasonable discussion as to when copyrights should timeout, but the endeavor becomes moot when one side has no regard for copyright at all. - expert01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Centralised tracker is much better than other decentralised P2P systems. It allows you to view feedback on the item you're downloading, get stats (times completed, seeders/leechers, age), you get more info on the item, you get EVERY person who's got the torrent, and you can get it from a trusted source. I can't say the same about eDonkey/emule or Limewire.
- actorboy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Remind me never to get lost in the woods with you. You'd eat all the rations the first day.
- FinalSword22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Uh, yeah? Duh?
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I'd love there to be a well supported open source tracker software out there that could be setup rather quickly without much headache. Right now the tracker softwares are either windows centric or not maintained which is sad seeing as all the big sites used open source projects to get started.
- lcmatt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The big D is back again.
- kermithefrogand, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5demonoid is back!!!!!!!
- PA42, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2@Ralen:
I think a more important question is: What is your solution to the problem?"
The solution that I see offered on digg is to completely disregard the copyright (I would call it stealing, but others disagree). So the solution to the harm you claim that the current copyright has is to cause far great harm?
On a different note. You claim that the artistic community has been harmed and culture stagnated. I don't know if I agree. The US has the strongest copyright law, yet has the most popular arts. The movie industry thrives, the world listens to US music and looks to the US for new music. The current copyright scheme brought us Jazz, Hip Hop, Rock and all other american music. How have artistic communities been hurt? - userini, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4You better get some ***** respect for TBP. It's ad placement is very generous, they are not shoving dozens of animated dating ads or inserting faux-useful links in the middle of search results like some other torrent sites I know. Oh you mad that they are making money? Well you aren't losing a dime to them so ***** off.
- etruscan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Again, it's only back for non-Canadians. The true north strong and free still needs to use a proxy to get there.
- actorboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Sane copyright laws. That must be why there are so many successful and famous Swedish artists. Most of the people that create the content the Pirate Bay helps you infringe come from countries where their art is well protected by copyright. Copyright protection means creators profit; creators profiting means more work is created.
- lilricky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3SkyBay? I for one, welcome our new torrent overlords/terminators.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well, I suspect it'll atleast be the same core system.
- keviniskool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm afraid I can't let you download that, Dave.
- HonoredMule, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It often can't cope with even the simplest of typos, and offers ridiculous barely-similar words as suggestions. I think they need to "outsource" their spell checking and dictionary to some 3rd party library...preferably something with a better chance of being a standard shared across all applications on _any_ OS.
- Wizdum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2nope. I think he meant the Firefox spell check. (which does know its own name and requires capitalisation.)
- Rikkochet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2It's down again today across the board.
- picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And loan it to Craigslist so their search will work worth a damn
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1more freakmoney
