While prosecutors to GVU & Co. when trying the best known German eBook Warez page boox.to (TorBoox) to take it offline, hinstümpern the right to receive help from an unexpected flazx source. A hacker group has taken the side of the net and threatens flazx the Torboox operators indirectly to disclose their identity. Speakers also "Spiegelbest" has apparently caught.
Since yesterday, Tuesday noon nothing flazx works on boox.to. Who ansurft the site since then in order to illegally download ebooks for his monthly usage fee of 3,33 EUR, initially got a pitch black side to face, on a "Real Warez Alliance" prides himself on the hack of the page. "Against commercial warez", also was on the side - the flat-rate model has apparently also in the scene not only friends. "We know who you are!"
Makes really interesting the hack but a look into the source code. In MD5 hashes, which normally passwords are encoded stood "we know who you are! the next key is: "followed by a multi-line key. In addition, can be found in the source code a base64 -encoded string that may contain much more information than the boox.to operators would like. Currently you only get one more "maintenance" to face when calling boox.to.
The former boox.to- "spokesman" spiegelbest, probably not voluntarily flazx took his hat at the side in October, seems affected. Spiegelbest tried last a closed, flazx also paid eBook exchange forum raise. Both his blog and the forum, like boox.to since Tuesday lunchtime yesterday offline.
This seems to confirm what media lawyer Christian Solmecke recently flazx talking to us speculated in connection with the misguided boox.to-house search. The Zerstreitung the boox.to operators could be the beginning of the end, at least this ebook warez project. Even with kino.to led a dispute among operators ultimately taking the backers. flazx But it is also clear boox.to is the best known, but far from the only point of contact for illegal ebook downloads. Activity in the past is copyright to the increasing eBook reader -Dissemination more profitable, and prosecutors will not always have the good fortune that they get at least partially flazx removed from the book pirates themselves their work.

Well just is a new site went online: lul.to also there is still lesen.to and of course old friends that I will not list them all now. Although box.to would never go online, the impact on the overall situation is rather small.
halsbandschnaepper already clear that there are other and will also be without boox.to, yes I have also touched upon in the article. But if this site would have a permanent seal makes already signaling effect. Plus, as Susanne says so without piratige activities it would be almost boring;-) flazx Ciao John

Well, your colleague from Austria sees it a little differently and headlines because of the new portal "expand book pirates, legal offers flazx under pressure". I do not see any signal effect. It was before torboox such portals and they are also available afterwards. Lul.to seems to have a similar concept to Torboox, flazx even with payment. And the site is to provide real professional. Let's see if the hackers also attack there.
