Notorious file-sharing site The Pirate Bay is planning to buy its own country and turn it into a copyright-free piracy paradise.
Currently based in Sweden, The Pirate Bay uses BitTorrent technology to let visitors share videos, games, software and music - mostly without each work's copyright holder's permission.
This week it launched Buy Sealand, a campaign to buy the former World War 2 gun platform now known as the Principality of Sealand, located six miles from the UK coast.
The island is reportedly for sale after its infrastructure was badly damaged by fire in summer 2006.
The Pirate Bay plans to fund the £100 million sale through donations from users who will automatically become citizens of the principality.
"It should be a great place for everybody, with high-speed Internets [sic] access, no copyright laws and VIP accounts to The Pirate Bay," the group said in a statement on the buysealand.com website.
If the bid for Sealand fails, The Pirate Bay plans to look elsewhere. "We will try to buy another small island somwhere [sic] and claim it as our own country," it stated.
A 'highly critical' vulnerability has been found in the Opera web browser which could be exploited to remotely compromise a user's system. The flaw is caused when Opera uses already freed memory to parse BitTorrent headers, and can lead to an invalid object pointer being de-referenced.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code if the user is tricked into clicking on a specially-crafted BitTorrent file and then removes it from the download pane by right-clicking. The vulnerability is reported in version 9.21 of Opera on Windows, but security monitoring website Secunia, which rated the flaw 'highly critical', said that other versions may also be affected. The problem can be fixed by upgrading to Opera 9.22.
But what i suggest is, do not use Opera for torrents. You can use uTorrent, BitComet etc... There are many freeware/Open Source torrent clients available.
You're a BitTorrent freak, so why should you let a little thing like being away from your home computer stop you from getting your fix? Using the popular, free uTorrent client, you can control your BT downloads from anywhere using a full-featured web interface. With uTorrent's WebUI, you can add, remove, and manage the downloads you've got running at home no matter where you are. Hit the jump and I'll show you how to get it all set up.
NOTE: uTorrent is Windows-only, but you can access and control uTorrent via the WebUI using virtually any browser on any platform (except for IE6, that is, which "is not supported and never will be").
Set up WebUI on your home computer
First, you'll need to grab a copy of uTorrent if you don't already have it. It's a standalone executable, so just put it wherever you like, give it a run, and let's get started.
Next you've got to grab the WebUI files (the first link in the post). Here's a direct link that should work for now, but I can't guarantee it'll always be the latest, so you might want to check the first link to make sure.
The file you've downloaded should be called something like webui_v0.310_beta_2.rar. The .rar extension is an archive, so use your favorite unzipping program (like Lifehacker favorite 7-Zip) to get to the goods inside.
