| 323745 | 2005-02-14 14:37:00 | :x (www.torrent-news.com) Those guys running Lokitorrent are real morons. First they scrape like $50k+ off the users from donations for 'legal fees' and then they give up their servers so the MPAA can get user logs off it. I find that pretty poor and I hope they burn in hell. They coulda been a bit smarter than that. I would've gone on vacation for a few days and announced it subtely. Then secretly arrange a few of your mates to come round and trash your place and steal off with all the servers, gear etc. To the police it woulda looked like a normal burglary, and it still would've been honouring the agreement with the MPAA they made. Then they could have gotten the servers back off their mates and destroyed them or something. If executed well, no-one would be any wiser. Obviously they must've been paid off quite well, or given a pardon. So I guess they just thought 'screw the users'. Oh well, what are they going to do to us over here in NZ. I missed some episodes on TV, so I downloaded the episodes I missed and then deleted them. Boo-hoo, same as time-shifting which is legal over here. Have to use an online proxy now to download the damn torrent links. :rolleyes: Fast edit, found a better news story that seems better than the scare tactics: www.slyck.com |

He was raped. Burn in hell should he? I would imagine he is having a worse time of it then anyone who used his service. |

Though last time I looked at the website when it was active, they had already gathered in enough donations to fight that months legal battle ($30k~) and they were collecting for site costs. |

I find that pretty poor and I hope they burn in hell. The MPAA don't need user logs to track people down on Bittorrent. The way Bittorrent works means that the IP addresses of all users who are downloading a file are available to anybody who can access that tracker. For a public tracker, this means anybody can see if you are sharing or downloading a particular file. This is necessary for the operation of bittorrent - it would require a very different system to avoid it. The bottom line is that if you use peer to peer file sharing to download or distribute illegal content you will probably be caught. Some systems make it difficult to prove, but true internet anonymity makes for very slow downloads and thus far has proved unpopular. |

"Probably" suggests over 50% chance. Seems doubtful to me. Unless your interpretation of illegal content is different to most. | Greg (193) | ||
