Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
1. No-one likes a smart-arse.
2. You could (actually should) have provided a link yourself in your original post. There is no need to make people go specifically looking. 3. That is only their response and not the original letter. I don't have time now* to go through the whole thing, but “permission to scan clippings for 16 national titles and 90 regional newspapers plus some foreign newspapers” seems, to me, at face value, to be substantially more than them having "linked to an article". (* I have a live show to do on the local hospital radio station.) |

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
I appreciate that your discussion has moved on probably seeing as its 40+ pages long but can someone explain to me why the powers that be are having kittens about TPB or torrenting but not newsgroups where from my knowledge the big "offenders" download from? Or is the issue that the ISPS are being used to transmit the material?
Does paying a monthly fee to a 3rd party "criminal" hosting it all make it more legal cos they pay tax on their earnings? |

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
The site with the most blatant copyright infringing material is surely YouTube and they actually host the material itself not just links to trackers. I doubt we'll see any court orders trying to block that though.

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
Ok I have just done a test.
A film was legally distributed on the piratebay called nasty old people. When I add the tracker on my VM connection all the trackers timeout, only 2 of the trackers are piratebay. I then installed utorrent on a windows server I got in a DC and added the tracker to it, some of the trackers still dont work but 3 trackers on that work fine. So it would appear either VM are blocking more than piratebay or their torrent traffic shaping is extreme enough to cause connections to not complete. Incidently the movie downloaded in 14 seconds on the server in the DC, I wonder how fast it would have been on my VM line had it made a connection to a tracker. Incidently kwikbreaks is bang on the money, I seen the bbc news article on he piratebay and it had a logo showing the piratebay homepage. that logo made me interested, I visited the site via a proxy and found out they making movies, the first been nasty old people and a 2nd one is in progress now. |
Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked

It always makes me laugh when companies go out of there way to get other companies blocked for trading on various broadcasting site.
I have never heard of this 'pirate company, but it appears to me that 'we' the user are being told who we can contact, and who we can't. We are already being told how much usage we can of BB on VM, If l pay for an Internet service, then l feel that l am legally entitled to use any site there is. Or is it simply that 'A' has paid 'B' to use a site to make money out of us, and 'C' cannot. Ie the football channel taken to court, as it broadcast from abroad, how petty and costly. |

Not to say your wrong Carl but PTB is here for the purpose of giving people the right of view programmes/TV series/other material that the greedy copyright idiots/governments what to charge a huge sums for to line there own pocket & the share holders pockets without (company chief/s ex etc) taking any money away from themselves but getting the public to pay for them. It's all about money + who gets more into their greedy little hands within the media industry may that music (they failed long time ago) film (near failing point) plus software companies etc knowing ripping most users/customers for some % profit margin for bonuses even charging extra plug-ins for this or that. They can do what they like eg; media industry with there site blocks/direct DNS blocking/etc but PTB (pirate bay) with still be with us all, in some shape or form. Everyone knows that PTB put a solid plan to the media industry a few years ago on how they could make money (little less) plus have the public use legal versions of there media in one packet fits all solution but no, they didn't want to listen - the court cases proof that :dozey:. The media industry kept with there same old out dated model of rip off fees/prices - still are doing so ! Tight copyright rules - adding on more years for royalty fees to artists (Cliff Richard) then sowing everything else up on the way - the 2012 Olympics is a good one for you (copyright) you cannot put a flag up with the Olympic rings without paying a fee to do so, even a union jack flag or anything of that nature; look for yourself the copyright poilce are out & about as I type this up; slapping shop keepers/ private homes with big fines- thats sound fair to you? no it's not. The 2012 Olympics are public funded from government backed loans so it's tax payers property :p: I hope you get the chance to read this reply carl, then have insight on your prospective into the media world, it's build for public masses to enjoy but create wealth for the special few holding their so though-out high powered position. I would like you to think about it carl as if you back the greedy money vampires of this world, your going to have a nasty shock when the world you think is right, crumbles away with your proceeded though of mind(from reading your reply - no offence).

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
Great post, and way to bring this thread back to life. I've a feeling it was about to be read it's last rites.
Have to say though, I know there really are genuine users/distributors of purely legitimate material. I've downloaded and seeded Linux distro's for years, but to suggest TPB is in any way trying to be anything but what it really is, is funny. It's very name suggests what it was intended to be and no amount of 'just a minute' pointy-fingeredness is going to fool anyone. IF that's all they were, there'd be no problem. The point is, that's the furthest thing from what they are - the legitimate torrents are part of minority listings. Carl's at one extreme of the opinion, others at the other end - but the fact remains, really. To be fair to Carl, he did say ’some' people so wasn't suggesting everyone that uses the site is using it illegally. What would be more accurate however is 'most' people, and there's the rub. ---------- Post added at 20:51 ---------- Previous post was at 20:47 ---------- :edit: to address the TV stuff, that's what I use torrents and nntp for. But private trackers, never used TPB myself. I pay the license to watch TV shows but I missed it. I download it, watch and delete it. No victim there. |

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
I've had times when it's faster to start a game download on steam, download it from torrent - copy it to the steam directory and let steam validate the files and replace what isn't legitimate.
Was getting a whopping 1.2MB/sec downloading Call Of Duty 4 on a Gbit line - Managed to get it done via torrents a hell of a lot quicker. Steam just had to replace the exe with a legit one and it was done.. |

Then again you barking up the wrong tree carl...... film re-releases/releases are over priced from the start eg; DVD/Blueray etc These are copies from the main reel, which costs them pennies in the pound but charge a whooping fee just own a copy under licence, yes you got it "under licence" read a back of a dvd or some of the paper info that come with any DVD carl..... you don't own it your getting a copy under a contract which limit your "copy" uses - private but commercial you have to pay a fee to the royalty board to show it or use it. Thats not a good funding structure at all.... a poor one at best !:mad: Quote:
As for "Game Of Thrones" + "$24m" it's how over blow anything these days, yes It may cosy money but there other ways just like PTB (funding model) put to the media industry that would account for any thing to do with any new release or project in the works funding wise carl.... |
Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
Its like android in a sense check this page. Sickening treatment of consumers.
http://theunderstatement.com/post/11...ory-of-support android phones shown here have a very poor history of having latest OS many models including the most expensive in history are released with old software and sometimes lag multi generations behind, consumers have resorted to sharing the ROM's between each other doing custom versions to update their own phones instead of doing what the phone vendors want them to do which is buy a new phone to get the latest software, torrent is one of the distribution methods of the software. As it stands the majority of it is legal practice. |
