The state of piracy sucks right now. Its all Torrents or MegaUpload and Rapidshare. How lame. If you’re cutting edge, maybe you have a vpn or a seedbox to protect yourself (hardly). Meanwhile our brothers and sisters are being called to court to pay thousands of dollars for (sometimes fraudulent) copyright suits.

Why don’t we have a tor alternative that’s optimized for filesharing? How come no one knows about freenet? Another torrentsite had its domain pulled? Why were they even using an ICANN domain when they could be using OpenNIC!?

You want to write your governor letters he won’t read? You want to make whitehouse.gov petitions that they obviously don’t give two fucks about? Or do you want to beat them? I’ll tell you how we beat them: superior technology. Tor already exists. OpenNIC already exist. We already have the technology to make untraceable filesharing possible. The only winning move really is not to play. Not to play their game. You’ll never beat them at bureaucracy. But I’ll tell you a secret, technology moves faster than bureaucracy. We are faster, we are smarter, and we are far more dedicated.

When a game company spends thousands of dollars on DRM only to have it cracked in under 24hrs by a hacker. A hacker who does it not for profit, but for his own amusement. That’s us fighting back.

When the DEA outlaws ecstasy and a chemist invents 2C-B. Then the DEA outlaws 2C-B so they make 2C-E and 2C-I and 2C-P and suddenly they’re making new drugs faster than they can outlaw them. That’s… ok well that is for profit but the point still stands: TECHNOLOGY MOVES FASTER THAN BUREAUCRACY

We will win, but it won’t be through the courts. We’ll make piracy impossible to stop, impossible to track. Eventually they’ll give up, then we’ll win through the courts. Look at marijuana. Years ago it was a prison sentence. They couldn’t stop it. Now in my state even distribution is only a fine. They haven’t given up yet but they will. Pot will be legal. It’ll have taken a long time but it’ll win. Its impossible to stop.
