The Pirate Bay to Fly ‘Server Drones’ to Avoid Law Enforcement

March 20th, 2012

Via: U.S. News:

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.

    Man, some of these stories lately seem like right out of The Onion (see also the Tide laundry detergent piece).

    Talk about far out! This is ludicrous. Best to be working on interstellar or interdimensional travel if you want to get away from these bastards.
