Maybe yes, maybe no. If no, maybe they a true mirror via api, or a scrape, or an import of some scrape / dump appended with subsequent submissions... but still not technically "the pirate bay". And a number of them have interface and or dataset differences, or are broken. Though the hydra meme and model of random popups is certainly fine for those that like playing whack a mole, it's really legacy. Torrenting data itself, once you have the infohash and queried DHT / PEX for peers, and joined into swarm, is reasonably distributed among contributing peers. (Availability there is human, not algorithmic decision, which other networks try to solve.) But what tools are there to publish the torrent name and infohash into a fully distributed index, and to search the names and retrieve infohash from it? And to learn and maintain an in flux list of random active nodes you need to contact to bootstrap your client's DHT? That's not TPB central server index and search model. And decentral bootstrap isn't in clients like vuze or transmission. It's more like a blockchain (or just a log) index, over darknet.

Whoops! :P ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: PFIR (People For Internet Responsibility) Announcement List < pfir(a)pfir.org> Date: Fri, Feb 17, 2017 at 12:59 AM Subject: [ PFIR ] Zuckerberg Cut a Line About Monitoring 'Private Channels' >From His Facebook Manifesto To: pfir-list(a)pfir.org Zuckerberg Cut a Line About Monitoring 'Private Channels' From His Facebook Manifesto http://gizmodo.com/zuckerberg-cut-a-line-about-monitoring- private-channels-1792462516 On Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg published an updated founder's letter for Facebook, his first since the company went public in 2012. Largely summarizing the CEO's previous comments, the sweeping manifesto was newsworthy while containing little news. In at least one version of the text, however, Zuckerberg wrote about using artificial intelligence for online surveillance--a line stricken from the final draft. - - - --Lauren--

Swedish Court: Pirate Bay Blocked For 3 Years

The landmark ruling, in favor of Universal Music, Sony Music, Warner Music, and the Swedish film industry, will see local ISP Bredbandsbolaget forced to block the sites for the next three years. In today’s judgment, the Patent and Market Court held that right holders such as film and music companies can obtain a court order in Sweden against an ISP, which forces the ISP to take measures to prevent copyright infringement committed by others on the Internet,” Court of Appeals Judge Christine Lager said in a statement.

Where Are The Crypto / Bitcoin ETFs?
by grarpamp 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3EFyGb104g Published on Feb 16, 2017 Keywords/phrases: Where bitcoin interfaces with the rest of the traditional financial networks: exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC). Bitcoin is sufficiently alien that it can't be swallowed by the traditional financial system; they have no idea how to handle it because it doesn't conform to expectations, counteracting controls, counterparties, risk management layers, checks & balances. They assume custody, oversight, and control, of which Bitcoin expresses none. What they have doesn't work with what is new. Bitcoin is capable of having an ETF; ETFs are quite incapable of encompassing Bitcoin into the current regulatory system. That is a feature, not a bug.

CNN Venezuela ordered off air for "misinterpreting & distorting truth"
by Zenaan Harkness 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Venezuela shuts down CNN for ‘misinterpreting & distorting truth’ Venezuela’s media watchdog has ordered CNN’s Spanish-language channel off the air across the country, accusing it of engaging in a propaganda war. Nicolas Maduro said earlier the channel is “sticking its nose” in the country’s internal affairs and “manipulating” information. https://www.rt.com/news/377495-venezuela-kicks-cnn-out/ If Hitlery had been elected, the gambling inclined would be running a book on Maduro's assassination. Let's hope he survives this one - for no other reason than he ought survive for making a (presumably) correct decision.

Net Result of Snowden
by Ryan Carboni 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Snowden's timing was interesting, it overshadowed Manning's trial. His movie too was interesting. I have written down so notes on the movie. Also, my cell phone works fine in the microwave. Snowden was running around on two broken legs for weeks until it shattered, not from training but from jumping from his top bunk. By minute nine, Snowden is in interviews in large soundproof rooms with multiple sequential interviewers for the CIA. A couple seconds before minute twelve: "Snowden - Ed Snowden" Thirteen minutes, one quarter: "not sitting in a ditch eating MREs... another 9/11 it'll be your fault" Nineteen minutes, one quarter: "bought into liberal media" .... "my side is right" Twenty-one minutes: "Journalists don't report the full picture, we respect the fourth amendment.... FISA. We obtain warrants in secret to prevent suspects from knowing they're being investigated." Twenty-three minutes: Talks about thinthread, but without filters, drowning in data (???). Twenty-six minutes, one quarter: You don't have to agree with your politicians to be a patriot. Twenty-seven minutes: Put cellphones in microwave, but the camcorder cannot spy on you? Thirty-three minutes: portrays NSA as total nerds "council of warlocks" etc ... Fifty-two minutes: need experienced journalists to lead the public through a complex story One hour: empowering background music about how the government is spying on everyone One hour six minutes: A lot of people cruise through life, why can't I? One hour seven minutes, one half: Thomas Drake tried to changes things form the inside, but when things didn't work he went to the press It would be unfortunate if the EFF or some cypherpunk advised on this. There are certainly a lot of people in this country who would like to know about these "public wiretapping warrants" or how Thomas Drake went to the press (skipping Congress even?). This is subliminal messaging, it isn't a single picture in a frame, it is a liar talking to you to your face. Naturally there's no public psychological study on this, so the whole of psychology can be held unreliable in this regard. George Orwell noticed this in the two minutes hate. We still invaded many countries since 1984 became a school book. This is the point in which I tell you that hundreds of individuals are sleeping with your spouse.
