Pirate Bay co-founder builds a perpetual piracy machine
Pirate Pay co-founder Peter Sunde has created a device that'll duplicate a single MP3 in perpetuity, as long as it's plugged in. Sunde, who spent five months in jail for his involvement with the torrenting site, has built Kopimashin, a Raspberry Pi with a screen that creates 100 copies of Crazy by Gnarls Barkley every second. As well as the number of duplications, the gadget also records the theoretical loss that's been incurred by the record labels as a consequence. The device itself doesn't save its efforts, it just wipes them after duplication, but Sunde is hoping to prove the point that digital copies do not have any inherent value.
