teriffic article, interesting that paypal cut off oron. I think the clock is ticking. This pirate shit can't last forever. Business will always prevail. The internet should remain free...like free speech. But, like everything else in the world, it will cost money. I think an interesting bisiness model are newspapers like the Jerusalem Post, which have a headline service along with a monthly subscription to their premium or more in depth coverage along with paid advertising. Not unlike real world papers.

BTW, thanks for that Mike. I have to say I love your work.

I don't know whether this is the type of links that were already in use or not, but looks to be a potential loophole Magnet Links (http://lifehacker.com/5875899/what-are-magnet-links-and-how-do-i-use-them-to-download-torrents)

Magnet links still have the same liability as torrent files: You are pointing people to infringing content.

That they feel the need to keep trying hard and harder to hide themselves and exclude themselves from the process is only more proof that they are aware that what they are doing is illegal, and it is likely that the torrent tracker sites would be shut down.
