STP Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Guy’s talking out his ass. Check out the Wikipedia entry for ThePirateBay to see info concerning funding. Also do a search on Slashdot and read the current stories regarding legal prosecution. The “protesters” probably bought ad space on the site so the assumption that it’s a front site has no merit. It’s interesting to see the blurb on Scientology. Critics of Scientology such as ‘Anonymous’( Anonymous_(group) have been targeted by Scientologists in their effort to shut down negative publicity. So, the Scientologists are against the use of anonymizing proxies to mask the IP address of critics. Interesting also that the German government dislikes Scientology due to the latter’s cult-like status and I believe the interior ministers of that government are moving to ban the ideology in Germany. As far as TOR (the onion router) as much of technology, yes it can be used for illegal purposes and yes it can be used to foster free flow of information to support noble causes. If TOR or other anonymizing programs were outlawed, it would have a chilling effect on the free flow of information over the Internet. You also might find this article provocative: High-Traffic Colluding Tor Routers in Washington, D.C., and the Ugly Truth About Online Anonymity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 guy is an idiot. Incidentally, that laurel emblem he claims is related to the "UN" is more realistically a take on Scientology's emblem for their sea organization, given that the site is an anti-scientology site, and the emblem looks just like theirs. guy is smoking too much pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
