Bit Torrent Search

Please Note: This site is not affiliated with Google,
it simply makes use of Google Custom Search to
restrict your searches to Torrent files. You can do
this with any regular Google search by appending your
query with filetype:torrent. This technique can be
used for any type of file supported by Google
(http://www.google.com/).

The intention of this site is to demonstrate the
double standard that was exemplified in the recent
Pirate Bay Trial. Sites such as Google offer much the
same functionality as The Pirate Bay and other Bit
Torrent sites but are not targeted by media
conglomerates such as the IFPI as they have the
political and legal clout to defend themselves unlike
these small independent sites.

This site is created in support of an open, neutral
internet accessible and equitable to all regardless
of political or financial standing.

Cheers! (Contact: info@...)

"The description of "P2P filesharing applications" presented in this
workshop's call for participation offers nothing to distinguish KaZaA,
Grokster or Gnutella from the basic functions of the Internet and
ordinary, generally used operating systems. It also makes no mention
of he core functionality that these applications actually do provide:
search and discovery of the locations of files. Sharing files among a
group of users is a basic network capability that operating systems
and networks already provide."
