CYBERSPACE ? Facebook, the most popular social-networking site in the land, now has the potential to become the biggest file-sharing platform, too.

Although the proprietors of The Pirate Bay are still awaiting the outcome of their high-profile trial, they continue to expand and develop new products that help users share media files, and that often means pirated media files.

How does file-sharing on Facebook work? Simply. Anyone who has shared an article or video on Facebook will be familiar with the interface. Users who search for torrent files on The Pirate Bay will now have the option to share the torrent link on their Facebook profile...

I am glad to say that I have never used facebook

I am proud to say I have never used facebook or pirate bay

the upcoming generations have zero belief in copyright already :2 cents:

That's just opening up a whole new can of worms for Facebook. :2 cents:

Congrats to the Lawyers--defense lawyers. This would make a for a nice fat retainer agreement with supplemental billings that can be stretched several years. :(

it will be interesting how long it lasts.

i use UglyFace Book

it`s fucked up

Chill out guys... this press release definitly wasn't sent by Facebook, I doubt it will stay avaliable to pirate bay for long, it would loose a lot of corporate market value if so.

can't see it happening somehow

The good news is.... Once tied to a FB profile, you can track the end-user better, as well as their friends / family / business associates.

torrent =/= copyright infringement

copyright infringement = copyright infringement

Speculation, I'm sure Facebook will have all users pulled who use this. It's fucking illegal.

All Pirate Bay did was add the 'Share on facebook' button to their website like everyone else.

I noticed this a month ago and have been using it.

i'm proud to say i will more than likely abuse this application to ease my illegal filesharing while facebook creeping...

True that. For what it's worth at least, guys probably don't want potential girlfriends on facebook seeing that they're sharing porn torrents so... :2 cents:

You need to be careful with your wording here.
Facebook is not doing that. It's the piratebay creating a plugin for the facebook API.

I have my doubts that Facebook will allow that.

Welcome to last year

Rob, I will join you on that fact. I don't want Internet "friends". I want Internet "Power".. im yet to find a site that gives me that. :)

It's not even that. It's a share button put on TPB, just like a digg button.
