Music Industry Wants to Block The Pirate Bay And 260 Additional Sites

Cat already out of the bag for those countries.<p>Arms race: legal vs technology - technology wins every time.<p>So, the question becomes to whom is your legal system ultimately beholden.

Music industry has to control the market or it will cripple itself tremendously due to not being able to adapt to the changing environment. It's only natural to defend your own grounds. Can't blame them, even though I strongly disagree with them.<p>Technology is the future. The future is now. Sharing is caring. Sharing is good.

Being able to easily distribute and share music can help artists in other ways that can indirectly increase their income. Let's say someone illegally downloaded an artist's music and liked it so much shared it with their friends, then their friends share etc. I remember sometime ago a little girl 's house was raided because some anti-piracy commission used tax dollars to have the police and swat team raid the girl's house because they believed or caught her downloading this one artist's music illegally. The artist whom that track belonged to was so embarrassed and felt so bad that this anti-piracy commission took it so far, I don't think the artist even cared.

Isn't there a way to remove sites like TPB with a completely decentralized search tool??<p>I mean, now that we have magnets, the next step should be to decentralized torrent listing altogether (on top of the existing DHT maybe??)
