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 :-)
Are you suggesting that there's anything wrong with an adult viewing filmed consensual sex acts between other adults?
The 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://movi…
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)

There's nothing wrong with it, but that doesn't mean it is smart to broadcast your porn habits to the world.

Almost all the money went towards purchasing equipment and legal fees. I don't think anyone in particular (except maybe the lawyers) got rich off the site.

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.
Maybe 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?
It's a combination of people who have read-write access and people who have read only access but still contribute to the swarm. I think it's got potential.

I didn't see anyone broadcasting their porn habits. OP only mentioned searching for porn; not which kind of porn, or whether he had downloaded it in the past.

the guys who developed bittorrent created a sync protocol. It's not open source though and people don't trust it. However this technique could lend itself to a bittorrent style protocol that continually updates.

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