I think Pirates should support the development and usage of Anonymous P2P Filesharing Software to create digital spheres that are free from censorship and surveillance. This is important to guarantee the free flow of information especially in authoritarian countries such as russia and china where many books and movies are banned. One interesting project seems to be the Tribler Torrent client (But still in development) that provides a technology similiar to the TOR Network to provide anonymity for all Down und Uploaders as well as End2End encryption.
See: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler
Through its Network of Exit nodes Tribler allows to Download all kinds of Content from popular Pirate Sites like Piratebay oder Rarbg, even if it is bit slower than normal torrent clients because all traffic is routed through up to 3 Relays. But it provides a much higher level of anonymity than the standard Torrent Clients. This is also politically highly relevant. Especcially during the last months dictatorships like russia and Iran have started to surveillance and censor the Internet and blocking even VPN Access. Standard Torrent Protocol is not encrypted and not anonymous leaving lots of risks for users who access forbiddenor censored content. Even using a VPN is not that secure cause the VPN provider itself may be selling user Data or may be even run by Government Spooks. Therefore i propose that Pirates and Pirate sites should support and advocate the development and usage of Anonymous P2P Software such as Tribler to undermine the censorship and surveillance regime of countries like Russia and china. So people have more choices to access censored books and media freely while their privacy is protected.
I am Using Tribler together with a VPN, so i basically can share my stuff with 2 layers of security. Maybe that could be the future of Bittorrent as it would provide more secure ways to bypass Censorship and surveillance Systems than Torrent Clients without integrated Anonymization technology.

Quote:"We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading. We implemented and enhanced the Tor protocol specifications. Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption. Tribler aims to give anonymous access to content. We are trying to make privacy, strong cryptography, and authentication the Internet norm.
For the past 11 years we have been building a very robust Peer-to-Peer system. Today Tribler is robust: "the only way to take Tribler down is to take The Internet down"
