The next 'Pirate Bay' will likely be on a decentralized storage network like Storj, rather than rely on a single point of failure. Much more robust.

#32The Pirate Bay will be back. They just had their load balancer taken out. All this doom and gloom about how the TPB is gone for good is ridiculous. It's a cash cow, it's not going to go away anytime soon.
I knew something was wrong with TPB before it was announced that it was raided and subsequently taken down. I noticed an uptick in in sessions on google analytics for my movie meta-torrent search engine https://moviemagnet.net

#33Ok I searched a few porn movies to verify whether they have it completely or not. Glad to tell you that it's really the 'Pirate Bay'
Hey Adnan, might not be a good idea to tie your porn habbits quite so publicly with all your linkedIn and social media info so clearly visible. Just a heads up from a fellow developer who's done plenty of dumb shit :-)
Good thing about that is you can use anyone's username as your own on any site.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
Basically, centralization is needed for deleting fakes, viruses, wrongly labeled stuff. Totally decentralized approach will have all the negatives KaZaA had in the 00s ("matrix.avi.exe").
Decentralized with quality control would be a hard but interesting problem. You could do upvotes/downvotes using cryptographic signatures use a little web-based authority to let people know whose signatures are reputable.
I've been thinking about this problem, too. (Reputation in a decentralised & anonymous web.) What would stop someone from creating fake users? They could easily form a realistic 'social network' over time, giving them some legitimacy. Together a large number of fake users can defeat any form of voting / quality control.
I find this stuff very interesting, let me know if I'm missing an obvious approach.

Never trust a man who says he doesn't watch porn.

hahaha. That's a joke. In reality Porn is boring. It was fun when I was teen :-)
Update: I did remove it anyway for a while. World is crazy and people these days are not good at jokes :). Who knows some of my potential client or recruiter ask me about latest porn which I can't answer anyway :/
Re: The Old Pirate Bay
#37It is better, because there is no ads!
The whole internet doesn't have any ads. Oh wait, I have ABP.
Re: The Old Pirate Bay
#38nice to have it back online..
Re: The Old Pirate Bay
#39Maybe I'm saying something stupid, but couldn't the pirate bay be distributed as a torrent that is continually updated, and then you have a torrent client that can search the database?

Legitimate question: Cash cow for whom? With everyone in jail, who gets the money? Did they take salaries before? Where is this money stored? (I imagine freezing assets is easier than taking down a website; with money you have to play within the system)
