FYI Stop SOPA and punch GoDaddy in the cant

Would be easier just to set up another entire airgapped network by leasing private lines.

Or have everyone use Freenet and Tor over the current network.

Or maybe not.

By that logic, this hacker net would also be illegal.

Pretty much. Though they would have to be able to touch/see it to stop it. If it doesn't run on established networks then I don't know how they could.

the true internet would get forced back to dialup *shudder*

That still runs through service providers who would blacklist the required sites. No different really.

BBS would make a come back though.

 

[JAXvillain]

you can't blacklist a zillion modems connecting each other. painfully slow however

Hang on.... What exactly are you talking about?

 

[JAXvillain]

essentially peer to peer internet. massively distributed computing

How is that supposed to work without a central server?

 

[JAXvillain]

just thought the idea up a minute ago. don't have all the answers yet.

Is great if you scrap the entire idea of websites.

lol you fucker!

Freenet works.

That looks like a mess. Regardless it would also be taken down if it were to be used to circumvent SOPA restrictions.

Its actually put together a lot better than Tor, that's for sure. But anything with randomized/distributed DNS names looks like a mess, even though it isnt...

And it would be really hard to take down, since you can start your own Darknet - with a circle of only the people you want. At one point, some co-workers and I were talking about using it for distributed/backup file storage on PCs. It's really neat software.

You don't think the owners of the communication lines could tell if this was happening on their lines?

Its all encrypted communication. It would look no different to them than you browsing your bank's website.

 

[ZRH]

COULD JUST LEASE YOUR OWN LINES

derp

 

[OzSTEEZ]

Its all encrypted communication. It would look no different to them than you browsing your bank's website.

Wouldn't they require to see what is happening on the lines in order to verify that you are not bypassing SOPA?
