The Pirate Bay will be back. They just had their load balancer taken out. All this doom and gloom about how the TPB is gone for good is ridiculous. It's a cash cow, it's not going to go away anytime soon.
I knew something was wrong with TPB before it was announced that it was raided and subsequently taken down. I noticed an uptick in in sessions on google analytics for my movie meta-torrent search engine https://moviemagnet.net
Doesn't surprise me. I don't think anyone with mainstream popularity will take this role. It's been beaten to death. Pirates of Silicon Valley, Jobs, and countless documentaries. Bill Burr has some poignant thoughts on the topic too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmbwR9J6-Yw
I stand 100% behind your statement. I can't stand to use Hangouts. I remember when you could simply have a video chat plugin installed in Google Chat with HD feature enabled in labs and CPU usage wouldn't be a quarter what a video chat in Hangouts is now. I dream that they still had the option to use the older video chat functionality.
Awesome idea, but I don't see how this will last very long. I expect your host will pull the plug in a few days to a week, especially if you're opening yourself up to downloading and then hosting the content.
I run www.moviemagnet.net which surprisingly is hosted in the US, but hasn't been taken down yet.
I don't think he's poor by any stretch of the imagination. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the recent intrusion brought to light that something to the number of 12,000 passes have been bought? 12,000 x 20 = 240,000 Not a significant amount of money, but how much do you think his over head expenses are to run the service?
That would explain it. It's remarkable how ambiguous TOSs in general are. I can see from a business perspective how Github was probably pressured from outside source, MPAA, to remove the application that could be used as a conduit to illegally download magnet links. This is such a slippery slope though...
Is it against GitHub's TOS? I have a web app, http://www.moviemagnet.net, that's a movie torrent aggregator that I was going to throw up on GitHub after I wrote some integration tests. It would be shocking to me that they would remove the repo since they weren't technically serving torrents.
fantastic standalone app. I created something similar, a simple movie torrent search engine: http://www.moviemagnet.net I hope people are not discouraged by Popcorn's exit, since torrent based applications should force the issue, old media companies to change their archaic distribution models.
Your comment reminds me of the sentiment of the whole Mt.Gox debacle. It is alarming that people tend to blame the victim of the situation, rather than the culprit. Instead of people blaming the victim/s, put forth a solution. I'm curious to what is going to come of this inquiry.
I was hoping this service was going to take off.

There's some truth to this. I took a few intro classes to boost my GPA and the majority of women in my group begged for me to help them just pass the class since it would look good on their resume.
I'd like Coinbase even more if they implemented Dogecoin support. There's a huge community of new crypto users that would love to start using their Dogecoins on markets.
This article clearly illustrates the red pill philosophy. He demonstrates a few things with his emails, his time is money, he has a plan and will make your live easier, and you get the impression he's not desperate for work, making him more attractive to future clients. I want someone successful mentality.
Dogecoin is going to be the defacto way to give kudos to someone on the internet, i.e., Doge Tip Bot on reddit/twitter. I think with that in mind, Doge is going to expose millions of people to cryptocurrency and actually give them the ability to own at least a few, unlike Bitcoin.
Actually being used by the laymen, facebook demographic, bitcoin is more of a speculative commodity right now. If you check out /r/dogecoin it shows a lot of promise.
It's just the viral nature of the internet, especially a meme. I spoke a to a few people that have no idea about Bitcoin, but they knew of Dogecoin and the meme. Plus it has over 20k subscribers to it's subreddit in a little over two weeks, which is 5+k than litecoin.
