DonkeyKongerko Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 http://money.cnn.com/2004/12/14/news/fortu...dex.htm?cnn=yes The measures taken this week, however, were not directed at individuals who download movies. Instead, the targets were people who act as conduits between downloaders and three specific "peer-to-peer" file-sharing technologies: BitTorrent, eDonkey, and DirectConnect. It's sounds like the MPAA isn't gonna bend over and take it anymore. It sounds like lawsuits will be next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 I can't help but think 5 years from now I'll look back on BT the way I look back on 1999 and Napster now. Get your movies while they last (not that I would ever condone such illegal behavior ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 Since I can't afford DVDs for most TV shows, it's time to move up my DVD writer purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I don't generally download movies. I have no time to watch them and if I do want to watch a movie I can just rent it real quick. Music and PC Games here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Wow, never heard of Bit or Lime. I guess now would be the wrong time to jump onto that train. No biggie, my buddy uses Netflix much like most people use those sites. You should see the size of his DVD collection!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I use Usenet archives. All sorts of crap there and with the right provider, no way of tracking what you downloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Bit Torrent may be going down. My favorite torrent sitem Phoenix Torrents, is gone now. I wonder how long Suprnova will last... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scwible Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Also the torrent site i visit TorrentBits.org is down as well. Coincidence?? Edit: heres a list so far of what has been known to be targeted. List Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Suprnova is not hosted in America and it's not a "tracker" so I don't think it will be going down. Edit: Nevermind looks like non-American sites are being targeted as well. Still if all the trackers are dead, it won't matter if Suprnova is up or not.

Scwible Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 It looks like the bit torrent network as we all know it is gone. Not only has some of the great sites we normally visist have gone down, the uber great Suprnova.org has officially gone down for good due to the pressure put on it. While not totally surprised that Bit Torrent has finally gone down because of the centralized servers it used, what is shocking though is the speed that all of this has come about.
