Pirate Bay ‘servers in the skies’
March 19, 2012
The Pirate Bay has revealed that it is turning to the skies to house its servers and is looking into sending a drone into low orbit, so that the only way someone can shut down its operations is by aeroplane.
In a blog post Pirate Bay said they are fed up with ‘the heat they are getting on the ground’ so they have decided to make use of the latest technology and take flight.
“With the development of GPS controlled drones, far-reaching cheap radio equipment and tiny new computers like the Raspberry Pi, we’re going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometres up in the air,” explained the post.
“This way our machines will have to be shut down with aeroplanes in order to shut down the system. A real act of war.”
