Pirate Ploys

Torrent sharing website Pirate Bay is now on the cusp of solving the problem of shifting base.

One of the biggest woes faced by torrent websites, which facilitate the illegal sharing of copyrighted material, is that they have to constantly move their servers around the globe in fear of a studio or government crackdown. Just a week ago, Pirate Bay moved to a new country for the sixth time this year: from the Ascension Islands to Peru. However, the website is now on the cusp of solving this problem. The Pirate Bay team is currently developing a browser that will enable users to store and share files without central hosting, eliminating the need for a domain name. A Pirate Bay source told the website Torrent Freak, “They should wait for our new PirateBrowser… Once that is available, then all links and sites will be accessible through a perfectly legal piece of browser software and the rest of it will be P2P (peer to peer)…” This browser will apparently grant users access to censored websites, and can also be installed as a plugin on other browsers like Firefox and Chrome.
