Владелец неработающего торрент-сайта получил 5 лет тюрьмы за пиратство

A 59-year-old Greek national was sentenced to five years in prison and fined €10,000, along with court costs of €1,800, for operating the torrent site P2Planet from 2011 to 2014, which hosted over 14,000 torrent links. His case is the second of its kind in Greece's legal history. The final verdict was delivered on May 29, and he had been awaiting sentencing since his arrest in 2014. The site experienced a DDoS attack that led to a database breach, which likely aided law enforcement in his apprehension. A similar case in the past resulted in a five-year prison sentence for another torrent site owner, but without a financial penalty.

Bitchat Bluetooth Messaging App: Works Without Internet Or Phone Numbers; Check Privacy Features, Range, And How It Works

Jack Dorsey has introduced a messaging application named Bitchat, which operates without an internet connection or mobile network by utilizing Bluetooth technology. Users do not need to provide a phone number, email, or create an account. Bitchat employs end-to-end encryption, and messages disappear by default, with no data stored on central servers. The app is available in beta through TestFlight, and a technical whitepaper is accessible on GitHub. Bitchat uses a decentralized peer-to-peer system, allowing nearby devices to exchange messages directly, with the capacity to temporarily store messages for offline users. The app can extend Bluetooth's typical range of 100 meters up to 300 meters by relaying messages through multiple devices. Privacy features include opt-in-only bridging, channel-level permission controls, and cryptographic identity isolation.

Благодаря платформе Google западные потребители могут качать

A new method for downloading torrent files using Google Colab has been developed to avoid notifications from internet service providers and copyright infringement penalties. This method uses the aria2 utility to mask the user's IP address by executing scripts in Google Colaboratory, which runs aria2 on a Google-hosted virtual machine. Users can download files via magnet links while their IP address remains hidden, displaying the Google server's IP instead. Downloaded files are stored in Google Drive for later access, enhancing privacy and simplifying file retrieval.

«Игра в кальмара», 3 сезон: где смотреть, чего ждать от финала, оценки

Третий сезон «Игры в кальмара» стал доступен на Netflix 27 июня, через полгода после второго сезона. Единственным легальным источником для просмотра является Netflix, который недоступен в России. Новые серии появляются на платформах Rutube, «VK Видео» и в Telegram-каналах, а также на торрент-трекерах с русской озвучкой. Сериал исследует, как детские игры превращаются в смертельные соревнования за денежные призы, с участниками, оказавшимися в сложной жизненной ситуации. Второй сезон не завершился окончанием игры, и главный герой Сон Ки Хун собирает группу для восстания, но оказывается в плену. В третьем сезоне контроль за участниками станет строже. Тизер показывает, что Сон Ки Хун вновь в игре, а участников, вероятно, разделят на команды. Рейтинг третьего сезона на Rotten Tomatoes составляет 88% от критиков и 36% от зрителей. Критики отмечают суровость и эмоциональную насыщенность, но указывают на спорную мотивацию главного героя и неоднозначную концовку. Первый сезон получил 95% от критиков и 83% от зрителей, второй — 83% от критиков и 63% от зрителей.

В Греции администратора торрент-трекера приговорили к пяти годам тюрьмы

The Piraeus Court of Appeals has upheld a five-year prison sentence for a 59-year-old Greek man who operated the torrent tracker P2PLanet from 2011 to 2014, along with a €10,000 fine. The platform had over 44,000 users and 14,000 torrent files available before it ceased operations in 2014 after a cyberattack and the administrator's arrest. The Greek cybercrime unit raided the suspect's residence in 2014, seizing a computer hard drive. The domain name p2planet.net has been inactive for a decade. Legal actions against torrent site operators in Greece are rare, indicating a potential shift towards stricter enforcement of copyright laws. In 2019, a Greek court sentenced another individual to five years in prison for managing multiple pirate sites. Global trends show a decline in piracy, with visits to illegal sites projected to drop from 229 billion in 2023 to 216 billion in 2024.
