ಠ-ಠ
Yes, it's true.
News reached the press today in Sweden - The Pirate Bay might get aquired by Global Gaming Factory X AB.
A lot of people are worried. We're not and you shouldn't be either!
TPB is being sold for a great bit underneath it's value if the money would be the interesting part. It's not. The interesting thing is that the right people with the right attitude and possibilities keep running the site.
As all of you know, there's not been much news on the site for the past two-three years. It's the same site essentially. On the internets, stuff dies if it doesn't evolve. We don't want that to happen.
We've been working on this project for many years. It's time to invite more people into the project, in a way that is secure and safe for everybody. We need that, or the site will die. And letting TPB die is the last thing that is allowed to happen!
If the new owners will screw around with the site, nobody will keep using it. That's the biggest insurance one can have that the site will be run in the way that we all want to. And - you can now not only share files but shares with people. Everybody can indeed be the owner of The Pirate Bay now. That's awesome and will take the heat of us.
The old crew is still around in different ways. We will also not stop being active in the politics of the internets - quite the opposite. Now we're fueling up for going into the next gear. TPB will have economical muscles to let people evolve it. It will team up with great technicians to evolve the protocols. And we, the people interested in more than just technology, will have the time to focus on that. It's win-win-win.
The profits from the sale will go into a foundation that is going to help with projects about freedom of speech, freedom of information and the openess of the nets. I hope everybody will help out in that and realize that this is the best option for all. Don't worry - be happy!

01.07.2009 в 00:06Вместо своего трекера будет использован чужой - пока его название неизвестно. Для самих торрентов создадут специальный хостинг. The Pirate Bay будет использовать его через специальный программный интерфейс.
Разработчики хотят быть уверены в том, что вся система торрентов будет работать, что бы ни случилось с самим The Pirate Bay. После реализации схемы пользователи будут меньше зависеть от того, работают ли сервера ресурса.
Информация о децентрализации появилась спустя несколько часов после сообщения о продаже The Pirate Bay шведской софтверной компании Global Gaming Factory X (GGF) за 7,8 миллиона долларов. Компания предполагает перестроить бизнес-модель портала и выплачивать правообладателям авторские отчисления. Сейчас выплат не производится.
Кроме того, GGF приобрела компанию Peerialism, разработавшую новую технологию пирингового распространения данных. Ожидается, что она будет использована в новом The Pirate Bay.
В настоящее время на The Pirate Bay приходится около половины всех торрентов в Сети. Администраторов сайта и имеющего отношение к порталу бизнесмена 17 апреля признали виновными в нарушении авторских прав. Шведский суд приговорил их к выплате 3,6 миллиона долларов штрафа.

01.07.2009 в 09:32Им надо отдать три с половиной миллиона зеленых американских президентов - по результатам суда. Им сделали предложение, от которого невозможно отказаться. Что бы ты сделал на их месте?
Как же идея свободного файлообмена?
Napster. История повторяется.
Впрочем, как по мне, тут стоит не о торрентах думать, а о реализации полноценного механизма Try&Buy и лоббировании юридической стороны вопроса: уменьшение срока действия авторских прав, установка потолка окупаемости ПО, ответственность производителя за качество продукции. Без этого минимума о каком-то развитии говорить нельзя.
