One head off, two new coming. And if we have to send USB Sticks with the stuff! Id rather get Carrier pigeons than stop pirating!

Someone already worked out how to do it: IP over Avian Carriers. The ping time is terrible though.

High latency, low bandwidth and package loss but at least it works.

Where do you see low bandwidth? Maybe over long distances but if I can give a pigeon a 1TiB USB stick and send it to the next city I bet it will be faster than uploading the data. If it arrives that is

People seem to always forget, that pigeons only know their way home. So you still need to get your pigeon(s) to the person sending the data with the pigeon, in which case you can just pickup the data now that you’re there yourself.

I mean you have to have a monthly pidgin exchange (maybe tie the pidgins to the last pidgin to reset)

At that point, why waste time with the pigeons? You have to meet anyway, just make it a data exchange instead and skips the pigeons completely. That also eliminates risk of packet loss.

When you can meet once every half year why would you meet monthly or once a week? Also, you can secretly tell the meeting point over pidgin.

In a world with safe P2P via VPN and I2P, why would you use a pigeon? The you never have to leave your house…or perhaps more importantly, you won’t need to feed potentially hundreds of carrier pigeons and clean their cages.

Italy for example tries to ban VPN…
