Germany’s The Pirate Bay Kiosk
p2pnet news view Freedom | P2P:- “Dear users and abusers, dear Elders of the Internet,” says the intro to Kiosk of Privacy, announcing the launch of [wait for it] The Pirate Kiosk!”
Surely not. The Pirate Bay kiosk?
But there’s no mistake. This latest TPB effort is indeed offline, and the pic on the right proves it.
Set up in Weimar, Germany, as of last night, “a copy of the infamous Pirate Bay is available to the public,” says the site.
BUT — offline-only.
“Yes, offline,” it says, “the Kiosk is not connected to the Internet in any way, but the interested public is invited to use the service in a wifi-radius around it, going on »»»
With our newest project, we are joining the work of the dear people and groups which managed to duplicate the contents of The Pirate Bay on other places in the Net.
We want to show in a very physical way that the Internet is neither a machine nor controllable in any way — it is just a system of agreements which work in any circumstances. We don`t need the Internet — the magic can happen anywhere.
The Pirate Kiosk features a webinterface similar to it`s online brother (reachable under http://kioskofpiracy.org IF you are in wifi range), a tracker service (under http://tracker.kioskofpiracy.org:6969), a growing backup of most of the Bay`s .torrent files and the ability to upload files which will be added to the integrated Seedbox.
And the entertainment cartels hope to crush this kind of ingenuity?
No contest.
Stay tuned.
(Cheers, Lars and Paulus)

I do love the irony that Kiosk Of Piracy = KOP. Geddit?
