PPI is the umbrella organization of the Pirate Party movement (active in nearly 50 countries), and some of its members are mulling the possibility of running a filesharing site from the sky. "We plan to use some kind of balloon and try to keep it up in the air for as long as possible," said Swedish engineer Erik Lönroth. Someone also suggested running a site from a satellite in space.
No matter the vessel or altitude, operating a star-bound site from Earth would be a daunting task -- financially, legally and technically. Assuming they scraped the funds together and launched a site into orbit, it could still be disconnected if its bandwidth provider received a takedown notice. Not to mention how difficult it would be to perform physical repairs on the server.

Hmm may be that explanation fits 'pirate community' as well; because they are more susceptible to inbreeding. But on Venus ........ they'll be dead + fried before they even get the chance to touch ground
Google "Final Solution"...! This has precendents!

What about beard and all other necessities including the 'foul' smell (i'm guessing here) which probably is 'hallmark' of any seagoing pirate; hmm but this may make you turn into a Viking.

Has the name "BO" been taken for a superhero yet....?
What about beard and all other necessities including the 'foul' smell (i'm guessing here) which probably is 'hallmark' of any seagoing pirate; hmm but this may make you turn into a Viking.When I think about all the juvenile delinquents that frequent the forum here, and how much it would make my skin crawl to deal with them in real life, the walk to the shower seems comparable to a walk to the gas chamber, and quite frankly, I would find it rather easy to do without either one. And that's a hearty, ARGH, MATEYS......to not bothering to brush my teeth either.Remember boys and girls, brushing your teeth before going to a verbal confrontation, is very similar to purposely taking a knife to a gunfight.... Not brushing your teeth before a "stimulating debate", is well, exactly the opposite...!

No wonder you've chosen 'TMS' as your title

They're still in the bathroom, "thinking", about it.

want the real answer?
Yes use the sky or should I say the cloud(s).
Have the pirate bay torrent servers on all the users computers all double encrypted and anonymous. want to download a file from the piratebay you have to use the piratebay torrent
server/ client. Yes it would work and yes it would keep the pirate bay owners from being shut down or sued as they are not hosting any torrents or files or links or anything. they could just control a webserver that the servers/clients logon to every few hours and update from and it wont update all torrents or files or content it gets that from all the other servers.
