Obviously the pirate bay is blocked in my jurisdiction, I tried a proxy but it did not give me a pass through to this content. How do I read the article?

- folli 5y agoIt's the following text: ------------------------- What is this? Much wow? The ultimate rugpull? It's a soft launch to a new thing we want to try and we have many ideas - Donate to uploaders - Donate to moderators - Direct video streaming through partners - VIP content - Member logins based on BSC address - File hosting through partners Much Ideas. Much Wow. So Great. It will take time but we'll get there hopefully. In the meanwhile we'll lock more and more liquidity tpbtoken@protonmail.com 0xfed320e18caf45f53fb64301b16ab60c3bc8c42a ------------
- jgilias 5y agoHehe. We've come the full circle. Now there's a token to pay for pirated VIP content. Oh the irony!
- KnobbleMcKnees 5y agoIf I'd read this myself on there I would have assumed they've been hacked, or otherwise taken over my some malicious entity.
- andy_ppp 5y agoCome on, people should get paid for the work they do right :-/
- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoFor folks that are living under Internet censorship regimes, would you be able to bypass these blocks by changing DNS servers? The idea being that you can have a local :53 resolver on your network, and resolves these names over an encrypted channel to cloudflare or other DoH (DNS Over HTTPS) encrypted DNS provider. This will prevent the internet provider from messing with your unencrypted DNS traffic. Some options here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/encrypted-dns/dns-over-https/dns-over-https-client https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/encrypted-dns/dns-...
- jleahy 5y agoNo, the blocks are at the IP level.
- capableweb 5y ago> For folks that are living under Internet censorship regimes Well, TPB is blocked in plenty of western countries that wouldn't normally be counted as "internet censorship regimes". Would be much more accurate to say "Living under the extended umbrella of MPAA and US influence". The block exists in many European countries for example.
- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoNo, don't downplay it. Internet censorship is internet censorship. It is unacceptable. You are being told what you are not allowed to see. The pirate bay has absolutely no material that infringes any copyright holder -- it hosts magnet links and comments. Infohash's identify content in a torrent and permit resolution of the files via trackers and DHT. If someone chooses to use these magnet links to resolve and download bytes of copyright material, that's on them. TPB is an archive of hashes. 'Western countries' that prevent their citizens from viewing hashes is pre-crime enforcement. Do not accept this.
- betterunix2 5y agoWhat exactly is the difference? Censorship for the purpose of protecting business interests is still censorship by any reasonable and honest definition. Even moreso considering the history of copyright law and its relationship with censorship regimes...
- StrLght 5y agoJFYI: Even if you use 3rd party DNS so that ISP doesn't spoof DNS records for some domains, domains are still present in plaintext in TLS encrypted traffic due to Server Name Identification (SNI). It seems that most of internet censorship regimes know about it.
