Cloudflare Ordered to Reveal Operators of Popular Pirate Sites Manga1000.com
Many millions of DMCA notices are filed every week with the aim of reducing the amount of infringing content and links available online. Most notices target the unauthorized sharing of movies, music, video games, and other entertainment media, but every now and again something more unusual is thrown into the mix. That’s particularly true in respect of a DMCA notice that was recently filed with dev
Playing games through browser-based emulators is a niche pastime of some of the most dedicated gamers. For Game Boy Advance fans there are a few websites that offer this option, albeit without permission. Nintendo is not pleased with these unsanctioned projects which they see as clear copyright infringement. A few days ago, the company took action against a popular JavaScript-based Game Boy Advanc
Anime Torrent Site NYAA Goes Down After Domain Name Deactivation (Updated)
While most people still associate torrents with desktop clients, the browser-based WebTorrent equivalent is quickly gaining popularity. Simply put, WebTorrent is a torrent client for the web. Instead of using standalone applications it allows people to share files directly from their browser, without having to configure or install anything. This allows people to stream videos directly from regular
For many years The Pirate Bay has been sailing by the seat of its pants so any downtime is met with concern from its millions of users. This morning, for the first time in months, The Pirate Bay disappeared offline. A number of concerned users emailed TF for information but at that point technical issues seemed the most likely culprit. However, over in Sweden authorities have just confirmed that l
One of the core pillars of academic research is sharing. By letting other researchers know what you do, ideas are criticized, improved upon and extended. Unfortunately it’s not always easy for academics to share their work, for a variety of reasons. AcademicTorrents, a new torrent site by and for academics, hope to change this status quo. The site was launched by Joseph Cohen and Henry Lo, two PhD
Payment providers are increasingly taking action against sites and services that are linked to copyright infringement. There’s an unwritten rule that Mastercard and Visa don’t accept file-hosting sites that have an affiliate program and PayPal has thrown out nearly all cyberlockers in recent months. It now appears that these policies have carried over to VPN providers and other anonymizing service
Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft Skydrive and Mega are just a few examples of the many file-storage and backup services that are available today. All these services rely on external cloud based hosting to back up and store files. This means that you have to trust these companies with your personal and confidential files, and that your storage space is limited. For those people who want to be in co
The VPN industry is booming and prospective users have hundreds of options to pick from. All claim to be the best, but some are more privacy-conscious than others. The VPN review business is flourishing as well. Just do a random search for “best VPN service” or “VPN review” and you’ll see dozens of sites filled with recommendations and preferred picks. Some VPN companies even own review sites. At
The major music labels have a clear stance on online piracy, as the following quote from the RIAA illustrates. “While downloading one song may not feel that serious of a crime, the accumulative impact of millions of songs downloaded illegally – and without any compensation to all the people who helped to create that song and bring it to fans – is devastating.” This “devastation” translates into bi
With 50 million visitors per day at its peak, Megaupload was one of the largest websites on the Internet. This quickly changed January this year when the U.S. Government took down the file-hosting service and had several key employees arrested including founder Kim Dotcom. Abruptly, the focus of Megaupload’s team shifted from serving customers to defending itself in a high-profile criminal prosecu
Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm was arrested by Cambodian police on Thursday in Phnom Penh, the city that he made his home several years ago. According to local sources he was arrested in an apartment above the Cadillac Bar on the riverfront, a place where he is known to have stayed in the past. Neither Cambodian nor Swedish authorities have commented on the grounds of the arrest. The 27-yea
The Internet Archive‘s mission statement is to provide “universal access to all knowledge,” which is not all that different from The Pirate Bay’s ethos. BitTorrent is the fastest way to share files with large groups of people over the Internet, and this is one of the reasons that prompted the Internet Archive to start seeding well over a million of their files using the popular file-sharing protoc
On Saturday we covered Boxopus, a new startup that allows people to download torrents directly to their dropbox folders. The news was quickly picked up by many other technology sites and as a result the service’s member count surged to more than 50,000. Boxopus didn’t go unnoticed by the people at Dropbox either. However, where most reviews heralded the usefulness of the service, Dropbox sees it a

US Authorities Silence NinjaVideo Founder, Rush Her to Prison
All around the world file-sharers are being chased by anti-piracy outfits and the authorities, and the situation in Sweden is no different. While copyright holders are often quick to label file-sharers as pirates, there is a large group of people who actually consider copying to be a sacred act. Philosophy student Isak Gerson is such a religious file-sharer, and in an attempt to protect his unique
In 2003, former University of Tokyo and Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute researcher Isamu Kaneko released a new piece of software online. Inspired by the principles behind the Freenet network, the Winny application attempted to make its users anonymous and although this was largely achieved, flaws were later exploited by police and copyright holders. Kaneko always insisted that his software
YouHaveDownloaded is a new Russian-based service that claims to track about 20 percent of all public BitTorrent downloads. However, they go a step further than just collecting IP-addresses and file-names by exposing all the harvested information to the public on their website. People who visit the site immediately see their download history, as far as it’s available in the site’s database. In addi
In Switzerland, just as in dozens of other countries, the entertainment industries have been complaining about dramatic losses in revenue due to online piracy. In a response, the Swiss government has been conducting a study into the impact downloading has on society, and this week their findings were presented. The overall conclusion of the study is that the current copyright law, under which down
Google Now Censors The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, 4Shared and More
We get a lot of comments on articles from people saying things like “Yeah, it’s stealing. Just embrace it already” or “Good excuse to steal right?.” There are editorials in mainstream newspapers that say “Such theft costs the copyright- or trademark-holders billions of dollars each year.” Even Vice President Biden said last year that “Piracy is theft, clean and simple, it’s smash and grab.” But yo

Google Starts Censoring BitTorrent, RapidShare and More
With an increasing number of BitTorrent users seeking solutions to hide their tracks, privacy services have seen a spike in customers. Below we’ve listed some of the most-used services that allow BitTorrent users to hide their IP-addresses from the public. The services discussed in this post range from totally free to costing several dollars a month. The general rule is that free services are gene
According to Tom Cook of Facebook’s systems engineering group, the daily code updates for Facebook used to cause a lot of trouble until they discovered BitTorrent. Cook gave a talk at the Velocity Conference this week titled ‘A Day in the Life of Facebook Operations’ where he explained how effective BitTorrent is for server deployment. “BitTorrent is fantastic for this, it’s really great,” Cook sa
Early 2006, the MPAA issued a complaint against isoHunt and its sister site Torrentbox, claiming that owner Gary Fung operated file-sharing services and profited from copyright infringement. The lengthy legal procedure that followed came to a temporary end December last year, when a US Federal Court in California ruled that isoHunt was indeed guilty of violating US copyright law. Since the circums
