and much more.... - Tabascork, on 07/05/2009, -7/+146If you build it, pirates will come.
- Khast, on 07/05/2009, -7/+134Wow this is almost a hydra on steroids.. you chop 1 head off...8 more come back in it's place...
I am not totally all for piracy, but what I loathe about the RIAA/MPAA/Game companies...is that they control everything about the media, to such an extent that some even try to control how many people can be in the room while you listen to music/movies (or call it a public performance) to the game company's re-releasing the old versions of their games...and make you purchase the game all over again, even if you have the original version. (PS3 was capable of playing PS1 and PS2 games when released...they stopped that so they could sell them on the PSN......)
Even the control like what Disney does by creating artificial scarcity. "LIMITED TIME RELEASE! THEN IT GOES BACK INTO THE DISNEY VAULT!!!!!!!" (*****, just release the damn movies and get over yourselves...you aren't THAT great. Which is probably why you ride on your legacy...you WERE great and innovative at one time...not any more.) - boomybx, on 07/05/2009, -5/+112The Pirate Bay might be dead, but its spirit survives. And it's stronger than ever.
- Gibletoid, on 07/05/2009, -2/+71it was a legit question, from someone who is not an expert.
I used to work for a company that owned a class C ip, and this looked similar. First 3 numbers all the same.
Sorry, I unlike you, was not trying to look smart, that is why I formed it as a question. People asking questions, usually do not know.
An answer correcting me would have been infinitely more helpful, and not dickish.
You are the epitome of ***** tech people. You know tech, and have no idea how to talk to people asking a simple question. - cyrusuncc, on 07/05/2009, -0/+41no, 192.168.x.x is
- mbsuperman, on 07/05/2009, -0/+38Oh good. Another Retard for the Diggers to bury into the ground.
***** YOU! - Hellahulla, on 07/05/2009, -2/+35So, this is pirate bay under another name and domain only without the searching ability?
- Falldog, on 07/05/2009, -3/+34In the end, The Pirate Bay is just a title. The spirit left behind continues to live on. Even though a boat might grow old and sink, sailors will still rebuild and take to the sea.
- foofightrs777, on 07/05/2009, -3/+33If you have questions you might want to try Reddit. Digg is pretty much populated by smug ***** more concerned with looking 133t on teh interwebz nowadays. And sorry but I do not know the answer to your question.

- linagee, on 07/05/2009, -2/+32Are openbittorrent.com and thepiratebay.org the same IP set, or did you do something wrong in your nslookup copy/paste?
- BooLag, on 07/05/2009, -1/+27ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
- nxxm, on 07/05/2009, -1/+26http://www.robtex.com/dns/tracker.openbittorrent.c ...
you get the idea. - failtrain, on 07/05/2009, -1/+26Shouldn't Kazaa be in there somewhere?
- k4rizma, on 07/05/2009, -1/+24i seriously doubt this will end the crew who made thepiratebay. They'll sell it, let the new owners deal with the site and create a more anonymous type of bittorrent site so they dont have to deal with the legal stuff. Thats the functionality they were working towards before this deal came up. Secure, Anonymous, SAFE.
Lets just hope they wont retire after they get paid.
TPB spirit will never die.
Its come a long way but you will never kill piracy:

So the answer is yes. They own their class C and can reroute to any isp quite easily. Although, that's not what the article is about. Torrentfreak posted an entire article explaining how to edit torrent files to change the tracker, without realizing that it's the exact same tracker, just a different domain name. - futureisours, on 07/05/2009, -0/+19Wow you are so 31337.
- inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+18They are the same IP set.
- ex0n, on 07/05/2009, -1/+19192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255) is local...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network - Silentnite85, on 07/05/2009, -0/+17Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
- inactive, on 07/05/2009, -2/+19Don't loathe all the game companies - think of Bioware... or Stardock... or Blizzard... or Valve...
EA, however, can die it a pit of acid thats on fire. Fire acid. - eleete, on 07/05/2009, -0/+16So that two more can rise from their efforts.
- Paranor01, on 07/05/2009, -2/+17Obvious troll is obvious
- Khast, on 07/05/2009, -0/+12Yes, some game companies are doing it right...
Activision and EA are the 2 worst PC offenders...wouldn't surprise me if they had a self destruct in the programs so they can make you buy it again....oh wait that's what SecuROM is for.. - Ne007, on 07/05/2009, -3/+15I always thought that they should ditch "thepiratebay" name because it had negative connotations.
It looks like they sold the name and went with a more neutral label which I think is a smart move. - doshindude, on 07/05/2009, -0/+121MB per second is not a slow download. Public trackers are just fine.
- DRT23, on 07/05/2009, -1/+12WinMX
- Nebberz, on 07/05/2009, -0/+11As much as I love Blizzard....this whole not including Lan play in Starcraft 2 seems to be a bit of a joke. I understand wanting to make some money....but screwing over people that don't have access to the internet to increase your security seems a tad cold hearted.
- sonicjosh, on 07/05/2009, -2/+12All PS3s can play PS1 games, whether they be from the PS Store or on disc. PS2 functionality was cut for cost reasons, and you can't download PS2 games (yet).
Shots do not hurt other players (yet). - greevar, on 07/05/2009, -1/+10They are separating the search from the tracker. There will be a search that uses the tracker, just be patient.
- igyigyigy, on 07/05/2009, -0/+9He meant to distinguish it from megabits I think
- tomtom10, on 07/05/2009, -1/+10why would you wanna look at it?
there are no features on the page, only info you need once.
you dumb *****! - nxxm, on 07/05/2009, -0/+9you search for .torrent files on the medium you chose to find them.
on the web you search with web-searchengines like google or more or less public or private websites and their search functions within the site itself.
you even find .torrent files on other networks such as p2p networks, where you can search them too.
you get the idea.
or ofcourse you can search for torrent information (after all, the .torrent files are just metainformation, a number of filenames, hashes and so on) on distributed meta storage networks such as dht networks and so on. - onederwall, on 07/05/2009, -0/+9From the comments section:
@all the conspiracy theorists out there
“Pirate Bay’s Peter Sunde has informed TorrentFreak that the site will soon decentralize and stop running a BitTorrent tracker of its own. Instead they will encourage their users to use a yet to be launched third party tracker for their torrents.”
There is nothing fishy about it, they openly said they plan to split the tracker from TPB.
They probably think an open tracker without torrents to download and a simple torrent search engine like ie. mininova (or whatever new indexer someone/they come up with that points to the new tracker) will be much harder to attack in swedish courts.
I can’t say how this will all work out but all the conspiracy theories are completely unfounded. - Gibletoid, on 07/05/2009, -7/+15Doe they own a class C? Or are these just the numbers in the D block that they happened to get from their provider?
- twiztidsinz, on 07/05/2009, -3/+11You should have accented the MEGA and not byte.
- tomtom10, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7you don't need to do anything.
only uploaders need to worry about openbittorrent.org, normal users just continue to use index sites like mininova as usual. - next, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7Yeah, selling a domain for $7.4 million that's getting dumped into a foundation to support freedom online and then launching another site that will compete with it is...being sold out. Sure.
- seventoes, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7Just did it myself.

They have the same IP set?? - TheJesusBot, on 07/06/2009, -0/+7They are invitations to Demonoid.
- SirFoxx, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6Ok, I'm with you there, now exactly how do I make that work in utorrent? Sorry being a dumbass on this, I've tried to find the info on my own, apparently I need some hand holding to get it to work.
- sputty01, on 07/06/2009, -0/+6*palm face*
Why oh why could torrentfreak not just keep quiet.
OBT is owned by Fredrik Neij and the same guys who run TPB, anyone who has ever spoken to the guy understands he wouldnt give up on what he belives. TPB is just a name, thats all that is being sold, a hollow shell full of open data. Theres nothing to stop Fredrik and the team copying all the tracking currently done by TPB accross to OBT and selling TPB for a nice tidy sum, this is the kind of freedom to duplicate and share that they have faught for all along. If they had/do pull this off it would only strenghten our cause and give the riaa a great big swedish middle finger... so please, hush now and let the idiots sign on the dotted line.
The whois results on both the domains just strengthen the idea.. - laofmoonster, on 07/05/2009, -1/+7Dugg for "*.omg.im.in.ur.shared.dns.list.wjr.us"
and "moo.omg.im.in.ur.shared.dns.list.wjr.us.html" - awhiteflame, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6The idea is that you can still find torrents on index sites (i.e., mininova) but the tracker would be openbittorrent.
- Redzin, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6Blizzard was part of the prosecution against TPB. And they're partnered with Activision which is one of the rotten apples of gaming (as stated above as well).
Sure, Blizzard make good games but they're not one of the companies that know how to handle "piracy". - HonoredMule, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6Nevertheless, I shall miss the title, for it was brash and very unapologetic. Besides, what cooler imagery can you associate with file sharing than a jungle island hosting a bay full of pirate ships, booty, and traps? Other torrent sites tread lightly as a ninja, and so evoke no imagery nor emotional response other than boredom.
- SuicideMouse, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5I didn't know this, i thought my PS3 was completely not backwards compatible. I didn't even try putting in a PS1 game... I've had it for over a year.
- Gizza, on 07/06/2009, -0/+5@Tenoq
You're thinking of Starforce. Stardock is well known for fighting AGAINST anti-piracy measures. - inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5 I had to win a 60GB PS3 off ebay that would play everything only to have some ***** rob my apartment and take it. Ended up down the road getting another one but had to play the game again of finding a decent one in good shape off ebay for a fair price. as you can't get them in the stores anymore.
Personally I don't see why Sony cut it out, the system is already notorious for its price, honestly what is an extra 10-20 dollars tacked onto the system for me to play my old games? Isn't that what was the selling point of the PS2? -
