Crushing cyber communism

[Cheese Guevara]

Communism kills corporate profits. Capitalism hates communism. Even the on-line kind.


"Yesterday, once Pirate Bay hopped to Guyana and adopted its .gy, it didn’t take long before its domain became suspended. Thus, Pirate Bay’s sails were forced to depart once again, and now they’re back in Scandinavia. TorrentFreak contacted the Guyana registry, and they had this to say about Pirate Bay’s suspension.

“Once a site violates our policies, it will be suspended.”

If Pirate Bay is to be believed though, domain seizures won’t pose a threat to the site for long, as they are allegedly developing a browser that would make the service invulnerable to anti piracy measures.

“They should wait for our new PirateBrowser, then domains will be irrelevant,” a Pirate Bay insider said. “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, with no central point to attack via the legal system. By their actions they finally brought on the next generation of decentralized services.”

For now though, it seems as if the .se domain is a Pirate Bay safe haven, considering that the .se domain registry stated that they would not issue suspensions without a court order."

The internet is all about capitalism.


This was supposed to be about us, it was supposed to be for us. Then somewhere down the road we handed it to evil on a silver platter and let them have it. That's why everything big on the internet is owned by some big corporation like Facebook or Google, and if it's not them, it's the back alley companies like the porn sites. It's all about profits and making money.


They make a big deal about downloading cause they lose profits through the pirating, but they too are part of the problem. They make money off of it, I have no sympathy for the ones that get busted like Mega Upload.

No. It was supposed to be capitalist, but it seems to be rude to want money from there. And corporations there are considered to be rude. Internet society enforces big corporations to give many things for free, if they want anything for money.

Sympathy is one thing, but utility another. Megaupload gave a possibility to download movies for free. Yes, you could pay them but you didn't have to. They've made a service when you could watch a one hour of movie for free and this obstacle was easily to evade. Then there emerged even similar better services. In terms of downloading the RapidShare was first one. But without them, you could only download in P2P mode that exposes your IP and exposes you on attacks from Hollywood lobby...

and the owner of Mega Upload became rich as hell from it. He's as much part of the problem as Hollywood, and that's why I have no sympathy for him. He became very rich off of it, and where is he giving back? He gets all this support after he was busted, but ultimately that was his down fall.


I don't see a problem with downloading for free but when you tease people like the downloading sites do, you're being greedy. Rapidshare does it by the "premium downloads" they all do it, and people buy it and they get paid for it.


When they are asking for money for something that is initially free, it defeats the purpose. Kim Dotcom going down is the best thing to ever happen to them cause some of the sites became totally restricted from downloads forcing members to join premium and pay a monthly fee just to get downloads. They took complete advantage of the crack down and have probably profited more from it than they did before.


That's the crap the internet comes down to besides private ownership through constantly buying everything out like the big corporations such as Google do.
