The Pirate Bay goes to the sky
The torrent site of The Pirate Bay is going to place some of the equipment on board unmanned aerial vehicles, which will ply over neutral waters.
The goal of the project is to protect The Pirate Bay from prosecution by copyright holders. When trying to close a particular website, rights holders, as a rule, seek the assistance of the authorities of the country in which the resource is hosted.
Placing equipment in neutral territory will complicate the task of intellectual property rights defenders, the leaders of The Pirate Bay are confident. “To disable our system, we will have to shoot down drones. And these are already real military actions, ”the resource blog says.
UAVs will move at a height of several kilometers. They are equipped with a GPS module and Raspberry Pi computers (?). They are planned to be managed remotely.
')
On board the aircraft will not accommodate all the equipment of the site, but only nodes that "will redirect traffic to a secret place." The leaders of The Pirate Bay call them "low orbit server stations" (Low Orbit Server Stations).
Here is what they write about them:
“We are just starting, so nothing is yet known for sure, but we can no longer be hosted only on land. These low-orbit server stations (LOSS) are just the first attempt. With modern radio transmitters, we can get more than 100Mbps per node at a distance of up to 50 kilometers. For the redirection system we are building this is enough. "

PS I wonder how much the content of such servers will cost?
