Meet PirateShare.net
p2pnet.net news:- It’s simple. 50Mb upload limit. No waiting. No download limits.
That’s what nsane promises for PirateShare.net, a proxy protected file hosting service.
On the forum, “Starting in Sweden all the uploaded files are transfered through a proxy and are placed on hidden FTP servers that are donated and operated by people who frankly don’t give a shit about copyrights,” he says.
“On top of that, we’re hosted by PRQ Inet which many of you may know is the home of the ThePirateBay (a really popular torrent site). For the combined result of us not having to enforce a copyright policy and all you little pirates having a file host you can use to share your warez goodies with your friends.”
What’s it all about? - p2pnet asked nsane. Here’s his response:
We opened the site because we we’re tired of 1) all the file hosts acting like little bitches when the copyright goon squads started knockin and 2) all the download limits they implemented to literally force ads and premium memberships down their users throats. So a while back when I was working on a much simpler proxy system we use on our homepage and trying to download ’some huge imaging software’ off a RapidShare link I got hit with a ‘You’ve reached your download limit please wait an hour’ message. I was like ‘WTF, I actually have to wait a whole freakin hour to download the next archive?!’
That’s when it hit me. I thought to myself ‘I have friends with lots of HDD space online, a server at PRQ Inet (managed by TPB’s Anakata himself) and a basic proxy system already setup. Why not make a file host that uses all 3 resources and lets everyone share files completely unrestricted?’
So I sat on it for a few weeks trying different layout ideas and whatnot. Then I came across a post in one of our internal forums about ‘where was nsane productions going now?’, or something. So I responded with a few of my ideas (including the one above) and within 20 minutes I had 5-6 responses going ‘Hell yeah, a ProxyShare would be awesome!’
Now here we are, a mere month from idea to final product, and that’s pretty much it.
I basically busted my ass for 3 weeks straight between this, college, work and taxes. Now it’s Friday and I’m getting tired of my monitor’s company, so I’m going to get ready and hit some parties tonight (or a bar atleast)!
Stay tuned.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

Hmmm, what was it? Last month we heard the **AA’s and the FBI had trained a Swedish cop team in how to make infringement busts?
I wonder how they could be positive they had the right IP, the right infringed file, and verification of someone being a multiple infringer? Maybe they would setup a sting operation. How would they do that?
Just a thought, peeps.

I dont feel like logging in right now this is going out anonymous, but nsaneproductions is no sting operation its been running stong for at least 5 years that I know of. No one I know from that site has ever gotten in trouble for anything they did on that site, Except for Nsane himself who the rat b**tards at alcohol had taken off the web for months last year. So this is no sting operation.
