How The Pirate Bay Plans to Beat Censorship For Good

  From my understanding this is essentially a web-browser, but instead of downloading the HTML/CSS/JS of the site from a single HTTP server, it uses the BitTorrent protocol to download the HTML from a variety of different nodes. So it's like sharing an HTML file using BitTorrent, but it seamlessly downloads and renders the content just like a normal browser. Benefit is that there's no central server. The HTML comes from many different peers. I don't get it how would one download changes for the site though. Say for example the sites updates with new content. How would peers come to consensus on the latest version?

  > The “domain” registrations will be Bitcoin authenticated, Wasn't there recently an outcry that Bitcoin transactions are identifiable, at least if your adversary collects enough data?
