What happens when record labels decide not to do business with anti-piracy developers like this guy? He gets pissed off and turns his product against them until his “demands are met.” Now that is funny. :D

After failing to do business with some of the leading companies in the entertainment sector, a developer has turned from gamekeeper to poacher. As a protest against what he describes as big business support for online piracy, the dev has transformed his anti-piracy system into a pretty snappy music download site and says he won’t turn it off until his demands are met.

What a perfect setup for a Honeypot operation for the labels! Avoid that site like the plague.
 
I guess this guy likes it in the pooper or he better get used too it b/c where he's going it's likely to happen a lot I'm sure.
 
Agreed, imagine what he has to barter now, "Pay me and you get all these IPs."
 
LOL... ?

What a whiney little nag. Sounds just like he's just butthurt that nobody wanted to pay him for his "amazing" invention, and so he's throwing a tantrum like a little child. Yawn :rolleyes:

Even if you're behind the proxy TOR, connected through a proxy onion proxy network proxy with unsecured wireless on your friends laptop :eek:

Wonder how many people actually take it in the pooper because they downloaded/hosted/etc too many songs? Hint.. rhymes with Nero.
 
Where exactly is this site scraping these files up? I tried downloading a test file while watching my network monitoring tool but the only site I see being accessed is this one.. Surely he's not hosting all these files, where are they coming from?

Depends on encryption and what you are using to do it/what the TOR/Onion networks capacity is and how quick the slowest connection is in the chain/distance. Youd probably have an epic ping time probably measured in whole seconds and TOR isn't designed for heavy throughput/torrents, but small mp3s should be fine! But yes. slow. :D
 
ugh, roommate found that site and pulled a song off before I caught him

how long before the RIAA smashes my door in?
 
He seems rather a bit loony and I wouldn't touch that site with a 10 foot pole - wherever he's going with it, it can't be good.

But he does raise an interesting question. A lot of money is being made from ads on pirate sites. It's obvious where the money is going, but where is it coming from?
