I think there are (or at least used to be) software like that. bear share way back when, and i think Limewire was like that before they got taken down.
Not to mention Kazaa, eMule or DC++(and it's spawns, oDC++ and StrongDC++). But to be honest, we are just as 'guilty' as them.

Has anyone thought of sending or setting up a BTC fund?
Maybe there's one already?

There's nothing democratic about this decision. The Piratebay is online, for those who are wondering. If there is censorship you can go around the blockade.

There's nothing democratic about this decision. The Piratebay is online, for those who are wondering. If there is censorship you can go around the blockade. But a possible near term tech concept, "smart property", would enable micropayment through bitcoin when a freely downloaded, possibly encrypted song was played. Going forward, this decapitates the power of the music industry. Their grip on old intellectual property will remain legally strong. But to enforce that they will have to destroy the unencrypted mp3s of the world, which is impossible. As hard drives and storage increase, it's not long before you will be able to store a huge number of songs (eg, "all"). That makes irrelevant peer to peer bootleg distribution for old product. I would say, a checkmate is coming.

Wow what a waste of time, instead of thinking of ways to innovate the movie industry with the internet they wanna put peoples in jail. If I can pay to watch movies from my home I would. I dont care for movie theaters anymore when I have big screen TV at home.

umair, exactly! Their business model is becoming obsolete. Instead of fighting the change, they should embrace it. They have tons of earning opportunities in the digital age too.

Well that happens when you run site on which people can post pirate work for free. That is way of capitalism, if they do not receive money from you, you will go to prison. Why to give some work for free when you can sell it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) That is how all works today.

Transformers: Age of Extinction
Release date: June 27, 2014 Box office gross: $302,138,400 Budget: $210,000,000
Only 1 movie making a Net profit of nearly $100 000 000 in a few days, and they still saying, they losing money on piracy. How greedy can you be?
Their royalties and copyright goes on for centuries, thanks to Walt Disney's court case findings, and they smile all the way to the bank.
It's a shame, and even a bigger shame, that we support them. {Me included} 13% of my total income goes towards them. {Movies / Rentals / Subscriptions}
Yeah, so wait let me get this right, these fuckers ask you to pay an expensive ticket to watch some shitty cookie cutter summer movie while I can barely pay my internet bills, so if you can't pay, you are condemned to not enjoy any new music or movies whatsoever, while these bastards get filthy rich. Just lol.

Ofcourse there is a possibility that piratebay will be shutdown since the site contains copyright materials.
