Peter Sunde, co-founder of The Pirate Bay, appealed to hackers to cease attacks on the websites of the Phonographic Industry. This type of attack took place a few days ago. Swedish website IFPI (The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) was attacked by unknown hackers. It is not hard to guess that the attacks are linked to the ongoing trial of the creators of the popular tracker. Peter Sunde is one of the four defendants in the trial.
The Pirate Bay has been in some hardware problems recently, but the last upgrade of infrastructure caused the servers to be “bored” - processors load fluctuates within 20%.
The new idea of “pirates of the bay” is to use spare capacity to extend users monitoring. The first step is to set up the “popularity” map which is based on Google Maps and shows the activity of users.
Today, the court in Stockholm announced the verdict in the case of the creators of The Pirate Bay tracker. All defendants were found guilty.
