Bit Torrent update

The world's largest and most resilient BitTorrent site plans to redefine "cloud computing" with a plan to move at least some of its servers onto unmanned drones miles above Sweden. In a Sunday blog post, The Pirate Bay announced new "Low Orbit Server Stations" that will house the site's servers and files on unmanned, GPS-controlled, aircraft drones. One of the sites administrators, MrSpock, said with the advent of miniature computers such as the Raspberry Pi, a $35 micro computer the size of a thumb drive that includes a WiFi and SD card slot for storage, the site can take its servers far from any law enforcement. "We're going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air," MrSpock wrote. The Swedish site has operated since 2003 by an "anti-copyright organization" and despite numerous raids, remains one of the most popular music and movie pirating sites on the web. The site hosts thousands of "torrent" files--tiny files that allow users to connect to and download files from other users. The system is one of the most popular ways to anonymously share large files and often comes under fire from copyright holders, who argue that the service allows people to easily share copyrighted movies, music, games and software. The site has repeatedly mocked American copyright laws and has said that American laws "[do] not apply [in Sweden]." Earlier this year, four of its staffers were sentenced to Swedish prison. Last year, the site apparently moved some of its servers to a mountain cave complex in Sweden..
