Extreme hyperbole. The local library here in Malmö have a much better IT-infrastructure than TPB.
The TPB website is built like something I made at 15 years old in PHP. It's in fact a terrible product by todays standards. And that's with noscript+adblock. I wouldn't want to see it without.
- ajuc 14y agoInfrastructure doesn't matter, quality doesn't matter. What matters is how many people use it, and how often. And there TPB wins by several orders of magnitude.
- INTPenis 14y agoYes of course, Rick is trying to say that regardless of technology it feels like a big library where you can find whatever it is you're looking for. At the core I'm for piracy, hell I was raised a pirate and I will forever be a pirate. I'd much rather donate my money to indie-artists and software projects.
- xyzzy123 14y agoThe hard problems for a TPB-like are DDoS, takedown and lawsuit resistance. They seem to be doing pretty well at that, considering. Despite not have a nice GUI, a lot of people use it. Why? because everyone has heard of it - and it's still there.
