This could get entertaining...

Ah yeah. This should be good.
Finally they do something cool.
For a horrifyingly oppressive totalitarian state, North Korea has some surprising areas of freedom that can't be found in "free" countries. Smoking in hotel lobbies and bowling alleys. Drinking liquor in the streets. Liquids allowed on planes. Even urinating on the roadside.
Say what you might about their human rights record, it seems to one of the few remaining countries with the balls to say "fuck you" to the Western corporate bullies.
Pirate Bay Manse!!

Yeah, I know
I'd trade silly things (like the right to free speech and the ability to eat on a regular basis) for the right to piss in the gutter, any day!

I would love to see the MPAA shut down this node. They really will try, but fail miserably. The Pirate Bay rarely fails to entertain, and something tells me they're going to buy a large order of retractable batons in the near future.
I've said it before: Make me king, and I will disband the MPAA and RIAA with the wave of my sceptered hand.
I wonder how Best Korea is going to spin this.

That's ridiculous. There aren't any Asian pirates! Hah! Next you'll be saying there are pirates in Sumatra or Somalia! :rollin:
Read the followup - it doesn't appear to actually be Korea.
Funny! but yeah, sadly it was an elaborate hoax. Would have been great if it were true, the irony!
Fascinating. I think it being a hoax makes it even more impressive. It's not easy to fool the core of the internet, and it's scary to think that even a traceroute can't be trusted.
