In a move sure to irk the powers that be, a popular filesharing site has announced a clever move to stay one step ahead of the law: airspace servers.
In a science-fictiony leap to the future, the wildly popular Pirate Bay is claiming airborne host stations are cost effective, and damn difficult to shut down. In fact, as far as we can tell, the only way to take them out is with jets and missiles.
