Dear users and abusers, dear Elders of the Internet,
the Kiosk of Piracy is proud to announce the launch of "The Pirate Kiosk"! From last night own, a copy of the infamous Pirate Bay is available to the public, but – here comes the catch – offline-only. Yes, offline, the Kiosk is not connected to the Internet in any way, but the interested public is invited to use the service in a wifi-radius around it.
With our newest project, we are joining the work of the dear people and groups which managed to duplicate the contents of The Pirate Bay on other places in the Net. We want to show in a very physical way that the Internet is neither a machine nor controllable in any way – it is just a system of agreements which work in any circumstances. We don't need the Internet – the magic can happen anywhere.
The Pirate Kiosk features a webinterface similar to it's online brother (reachable under http://kioskofpiracy.org – IF you are in wifi range), a tracker service (under http://tracker.kioskofpiracy.org:6969), a growing backup of most of the Bay's .torrent files and the ability to upload files which will be added to the integrated Seedbox.

I was reading the blog and saw that this was only available in Germany, i live in the US and am a big follower of the Pirate Bay, currently in College, but i was wondering if there was a way i could build a pirate kiosk here where i live or by the college campus, because i know a lot of students use torrents badly.So if you guys could me get started on how to build or could give me tips that would be great. Please reply just email me. thnks.

Wouldn't it be possible for someone nearby to point a good directional antenna at the kiosk and forward packets from the internet to it?
That person that did that wouldn't be liable for anything because they would be acting as a common carrier just like any ISP or internet bandwidth company!
So, anyone live nearby?
Some suggestions of technology to do that would be a Linksys WRT54 router running DD-WRT or OpenWRT.
You would set the incoming internet router to port forward to the Linksys router and that would be set to forward the same way to the kiosk.
I'm sure you could easily get someone to donate equipment and time to set this up and people would probably be willing to donate to a fund to support the connection.
If done properly, the bandwidth would be minimal if all you were doing is forwarding the tracker (not any files).

I'm glad somebody is doing something to preserve the Pirate Bay. I'm surprised it's still functioning. I just grabbed a file off of there.
