Pirate Bay Moves to The Cloud, Becomes Raid-Proof
The Pirate Bay has made an important change to its infrastructure. The world?s most famous BitTorrent site has switched its entire operation to the cloud. From now on The Pirate Bay will serve its users from several cloud hosting providers scattered around the world. The move will cut costs, ensure better uptime, and make the site virtually invulnerable to police raids ? all while keeping user data secure.

The Pirate Bay is loved by millions of file-sharers but is also a thorn in the side of the entertainment industries.

The latter group continues to push authorities to take action against the site. The Pirate Bay was raided back in 2006 and there are rumors that the police might try again in the near future.

The Pirate Bay is not oblivious to this looming threat. They have backups in place and are shielding the true location of their servers. Nevertheless, should the site lose all its servers it might take a while to get back online.

This is one of the reasons why The Pirate Bay decided to move the site into the cloud yesterday. The switch resulted in five minutes downtime and was hardly noticed by the public, but it?s a big change for the infamous BitTorrent site.

Hosting in the cloud also makes the site easier to scale, it reduces downtime, and is also cheaper.

So why not just take their domains?

Because that would be the simple way.

When I DMCA anyone I send to the domain registrar and they all send back that its not their problem, when in reality, it is. No domain, no piracy.

That hardly qualifies as being "raid proof."

All they have done is make a just a little more difficult for all of their servers to be raided. However, with a little coordination they could all be had just as easily as if they were in one location.

I'm still waiting for their revolutionary 3D printing torrents. Looking forward to the day I can download a pair of plastic shoes.

I'd say it would be a hell of a lot harder if they have the servers set up on clouds in various countries. It would mean having to go through the legal process of multiple countries at once.

The domain is of course the weakest link.

No domain no piracy, ha. There is and always will be, another way to pirate anything and everything. There are hundreds, if not thousands of torrent sites, forums, and groups. Shutting down the PirateBay would put a dent in it but then again why not just take away domains of anyone you disagree with? Blogs that talk bad about you, religious websites you disagree with, political sites that don't line up with you? Learn to innovate and create content people want to pay for and support instead of only focusing on keeping the old way of earning alive.

Oh yeh, another anonymous thieving fuck registered in 2012.

Only bottom feeders like yourself are so ignorant that you don't know the difference between stealing intellectual property and someone making libelous comments on a blog.

As far as I'm concerned, those providing Internet connectivity, domain registry services and server based hosting to the Pirate Bay are just as culpable as the Pirate Bay is.

It's long past time that their domain should have been seized, this site has no right to exist and serves no purpose other than to facilitate widespread ulta large scale copyright infringement.

According to everyone who uses it, no one makes anything worth paying for, thus it justifies their actions of not paying for anything.

Stop the money, Stop the piracy. Well most of it.

Funny how most of the times one single hosting company shows up hosting these sites yet they still attend tradeshows and do business with our industry

Make a list of the 100 biggest filelockers, i guarantee you they will host at least half

Supz · 10-17-2012, 11:05 AM

having physical servers or virtual servers in multiple locations, there is really no difference. It would be hard for me to believe that they didnt have that before. It will cut costs..

Fighting piracy would be easier if more in this industry had a backbone and less had their fingers in the piracy pie.

TheSquealer · 10-17-2012, 01:10 PM

"Raid proof" doesn't mean "arrest proof"... so really, who cares. It's not like they sleep well at night and their time is getting shorter no matter what.

Because it's not worth going to jail or getting sued over. Everyone has too much to lose and all these scum fucks know this.

If I knew for a fact I would not be arrested or sued, I'd be at the next show with a club and beat a few dicks over the head with it when they least expected it. But in the real world, that means jail and possible law suit, so no thanks, I'll just keep sending DMCAs.

That said, I would love for some covert shit to go down and a few homes burned to the ground. It would be fitting and fair.

I love when *cloud* hosting is mentioned, people seem to think that the data is magically hosted in the sky somewhere.

ilnjscb · 10-17-2012, 03:54 PM

People can't live "in the cloud". Arrest them, and they'll sit there in jail.

I'm pretty sure could computing means it's on the Avengers flying ship (The Helicarrier) that hovers in the sky, in the clouds, and is covered with invisible panels. Impossible to raid that. And even if you did, you have superheros to deal with. You're gonna lose that fight 9 times out of 10.

I want to move my balls to the cloud so they are always being hit with a warm, gentle wind.
