In this new age of digital communications one can always exchange information and data easily but is it Legal to do so?
Since the dawn of time people have exchanging information throughout the world by different methods. Whether in the ancient times it was by writing journals or in this new age where we can share any type of data by just a click of a button literally just a click is all we need.
Dawn of the Pirate Age
Many people might think Hey! the torrent came in 2000′s but that is not entirely true in fact the the pirate age begin way further back then back in the 80′s people shared information through decentralized websites like Usenet and after that the infamous Rise and Fall of the “Napster” one of the biggest music infringement in the history. after that people started to improvise a bit more and started to create some of the Decentralized and anonymous websites.
But Still that was not Enough because the hunger of sharing of information in people was overwhelming and they had to find a new “Anonymous” way of file sharing Hey! We don’t want Uncle Sam to know everything right.
Bram Cohen an American Programmer started working on a new P2P Network Protocol and after his excruciating hard work and lots of Sleepless nights he finally did it. He wrote the first “Bittorrent” Protocol in 2001 and that was it.
The Dawn of the Pirate Age. for a lot of people this was the best thing that happened but some people started to worry. these people were the content providers and the Producers because whenever they made something and released it on the market after a few days it was on some torrent sharing site for “FREE” people who spent night and day creating the best content they could just couldn’t handle it. If i was one of them i would probably feel the same way the thing they most hated was that the couldn’t do a damn thing about it nobody knew who made the sight and who’s uploading the content.Image taken form Wikimedia.org
That was the rise of the internet “Pirates” and fall of content providers.
The End Of An Era
Now that we know how the Pirate of this new Digital age came into formation. But the Producers didn’t Hold back either they fought with all their might and landed a “Severe” Blow to the torrent community.
Some weeks back The Torrent GIANT “Kickasstorrents” was taken down when their alleged owner was arrested in Poland. The Big brother though they could kill the snake by cutting of its head. Again they were wrong when the first arrested the owner of “The Pirate Bay” back in 2015 They thought they had done some serious damage but after 7 weeks the pirate bay rose up from the ashes of dead servers and copyright law with the symbol of a “Phoenix” A Symbol of Resurrection. The Producers again were disappointed and started poking the The Big Brothers again to take action about this “Torrent” after kickass was taken down another blow to the torrent community was the Shutdown of the biggest torrent Search engines know as Torrentz was shut down we currently do not know whether it was due to copyright or some other reason we just know they had shutdown with now a beautiful message on thier homepage now.
This message broke the hearts of enthusiastic torrent community through out the world and hence marking an “End” of an era.Torrentz will always love you. Farewell.
But Despite these efforts of the Law Enforcement Agencies the torrent community did not lose fight but are still fighting and after just two hours of taking down kickasstorrents its mirrors and clones started to take its place. Well you know What they say.
Cut Off One Head And Two More Shall Take Its Place.
