SUP DAWG I HEARD U LIKE TORRENTING SO I PUT AN INDEX IN YOUR INDEX SO U CAN PIRATE WHILE YOU PIRATE!

[porphyre]

via Scott:

Pirate Bay user downloads entire site's index files.

Creates a 21gb mega-torrent.

Adds rudimentary code to allow people to recreate their own copies of the site.

Uploads it to the Pirate Bay.

1st clones of the site already running (but struggling under the current media attention).

Ladies, we just went very meta indeed.

At least take me out to dinner first, sheesh.

Hawt.

Or else it gets the hose again.

Also, love that userpic :-) An AI researcher friend of mine yoinked that from you a few months back. Doesn't surprise me awfully that porphyre knows the creator, of course.

I can help but wonder if the inspiration for this wasn't more their impending purchase and "legalization" by Global Gaming Factory X.

and some of the clones are getting Cease & Desist orders already.
