17.12.2007Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

06.01.2009Office 2010 Has Leaked!
The Technical Preview of Office 2010 has officially leaked! WZor.net uploaded a torrent a few hours ago for both the x86 and x64 versions of the
new Office suite.
Without further ado, I present:
Microsoft Office 2010 (x86)
AND
Microsoft Office 2010 (x64)
The x64
torrent doesn't seem to be very active at the moment, but over time, as it gains more seeders, hopefully it will pick up. We were achieving speeds of
up to 1000kbps during our download of the x86 version, so the torrent is going strong... That is, until the rest of the world picks up on it...
Download quickly!
While you eagerly await the end of your download, check out a screenshot gallery from WZor as well (the version pictured
in the screenshots is the x64 version).
The links in this article were obtained from WZor's homepage, http://wzor.net/indexx.html

Australia has been known to have high levels of censorship. It should come as no surprise to those in the land down under that the government is
planning to filter P2P and Bit Torrent traffic in live pilot tests. Senator Conroy went on the record saying "technology that filters peer-to-peer
and Bit Torrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial". It is a drastic
step to filter out all P2P and Bit Torrent traffic as it assumes that those channels are only used for piracy. One example of legitimate use is the
popular online game World of Warcraft.

23.12.2008Windows 7 leaks to Web, pirates downloading
Leaked copies of Windows 7 hit the Internet only hours after Microsoft Corp. handed out a preview build to developers last week, according to searches
at several BitTorrent-tracking sites. The notorious Pirate Bay site, for example, first noted the 32-bit version of the upcoming operating system on
Oct. 29, just one day after Microsoft unveiled Windows 7 to attendees at its Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles. A 64-bit edition was
posted the following day.
As of midday Sunday, with several copies of Windows 7 available, downloading was brisk. One 32-bit torrent listed
on Pirate Bay showed more than 1,400 "seeders," the term for a computer that has a complete copy of the torrent file, and close to 5,300
"leechers," or computers that have downloaded only part of the complete torrent. The 32-bit torrent installs a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, according
to users commenting on the site.

03.11.2008"txtor" tool circumvents basic torrent blockers
To the frustration of many students and other avid torrent downloaders, some universities and ISPs have been known to block the download of .torrent
files in an effort to curb illegal file sharing. This quick and dirty method of filtering Internet content is usually done through the use of a proxy
server that will look for a torrent mime-type in the file or, even simpler, the file extension itself. Although this method seems almost too simple to
take seriously, enough admins have found it effective enough to justify its use.
That's why a group of developers launched
txtor today, a site that makes it possible to download .torrent files as if they were text
files. As the site explains, from the user perspective, the service functions very simply. Plug in the URL of a torrent file, and it's translated to
a text file for you to download. For a moderately more technical explanation, the site merely takes the file and changes the mimetype and extension,
then spits it back out at you as a text file in order to bypass proxy-level torrent file blocks. Then, all you need to do is change the file extension
back from .txt to .torrent and open it up in your favorite torrent client. Based on our testing of txtor, we can say that the tool works exactly as
advertised.

28.09.2007Controversy over new Pirate Bay Facebook feature
The Pirate Bay has added a small, but significant feature to their website which will almost certainly prove to be controversial. The new feature is a
link provided on each torrent page which allows users to post the link to the particular torrent onto their Facebook profile. Friends can then begin
to download the particular torrent straight from their Facebook page, assuming a torrent client is installed. Many websites allow their users to do
the very same thing – even Neowin allows its users to submit news articles to Facebook; however the controversy lies in just what users will be
sharing, with the use of this.

Steal This Film 1, which was downloaded nearly 3 million times, has now been succeeded officially (as the sequel premiered and was ironically leaked
last month) by none other than Steal This Film 2. By producing this video, the League of Noble Peers, which features many prominent individuals from
the BitTorrent community, has the goal of “ bringing new people into the leagues of those now prepared to think 'after intellectual
property', think creatively about the future of distribution, production and creativity .” For those still confused, Steal This Film is a
series documenting the movement against intellectual property. The films discuss piracy culture as well as raids against file sharing websites. In the
spirit of piracy, the movie is completely free for download.
