Thanks for pointing that out, it's a useful feature, but that doesn't get around the paywall here.

Looks like an interesting article after the first couple of paragraphs, but the paywall makes it hard to say really.

This code does not handle the situation - the program will crash.

TcpListener::bind(&addr, &handle).unwrap()

Rather than raising exceptions, the paradigm in Rust is to return a Response item, which has an Ok and an Err subtype. unwrap() here assumes that the response is Ok and just gives that back the data returned, or crashes if its an error.

Just to play devil's advocate, gun sales are regulated in one way or another in many places. Permits, background checks, waiting periods. The pirate bay, in many ways, acts more like a gun runner than a gun manufacturer. They don't create the content, they just make it available and try to skirt regulation through a technicality or even direct non-compliance.
