Public piracy and stick to the walls
The next time you pass by a brick wall, look closer: it is possible, you'll notice something unusual. For example, imbedded in it connector USB. What is it and why? This project is called "Secrets" and it has been well-known Aram Barthol.

This man is known for his experiments in crossbreeding reality and virtuality. No, he is not engaged in augmented reality - his work is close to the most avant-garde art projects. For example, the last time everyone was talking about him when he made a huge mark for Google Maps, which can be seen from space. Actually, it was designed to do, and - he hoped that the satellite will photograph his mark on maps and it will look exactly like the one you can move the mouse.
But "Secrets" still not as useless project. Barthol wants, neither more nor less than to organize a peering network in public places. And for that, he is not going to use the Internet. It is build into the flash drive into the walls, suggesting that everyone can come to a wall, and share content with another man, leaving or taking files from the storage medium. A sort of Pirate Bay, but without the torrents. So far, the five flash drives Barthol set in New York, and encourages people to continue his endeavors.
Each of them contains the file readme.txt, which describes the essence of the project and how the use of media. Barthol promises that he will develop a "secret", and says that soon will write a complete documentation, make an educational video, map and instructions on how to make your own "Cache».
By the way, this is not the first idea to share files in a certain location in the real world, not in the network. For example, when the founders of Pirate Bay announced that they are going to sell the site (it was, by the way, not so long ago, two years ago), a certain group of people called "Pirate Kiosk" bought Greatest stall in a German town and announced that even if piracy the Internet will be prevented, people are just able to come to their booth to connect to Wi-Fi and share files within that network. Of course, it was a bit presumptuous, because the entire network would be limited by the amount of people standing at the kiosk, but certainly very romantic and exciting.
Like the "Secrets" Aram Barthola. However, all this is rather just art projects, and not some useful solutions. In them, however, there is no need. Pirate Bay has been, and remains the largest search engine for torrents and no power, it seems, can not break the pirate enclave, no matter how many tried to rights holders.
