Feds shut down site

I'm glad. Now my content wont be shared there anymore. What do you guys think?

[curiousbunny]

I think that's a fake sign.
You think they'd take the time 2 put a sign up?

It's great for us. I'm glad they are onto the people that steal our work and give it to the world

It's also a demonstration that no matter how underground you think you are.. if you break the law.. they can, and will, find you. Whether it's Torrents or 2257, unless you're a rich religious fanatic that doesn't mind living in caves after terrorising the U.S. :turban:

Well you're in good company as the address is posted in news stories all over the net :extat: Don't be to paranoid buddy... clicking a link to a site with nothing on it isn't against the law.

You're right.. I think they are watching you now through your computer screen. They've already tapped your phone..don't you hear the faint clicks when you're talking on the phone? That's them. :shifty:

Geez..that bit torrent site and a few others got closed down over 2 months ago. Music industry went after them big time for the peer to peer sharing.

You can't stop P2P/BT. Internet users have adopted it way too widely. This one site was nothing. It hadn't even been online very long. Only 4 months. They were probably busted only because someone in Hollywood put up a fuss over Star Wars being posted before it even hit the show.

True I guess you really just never know with those kinds of things. Do you think they will shut down a bunch of sites that don't have the 2257 disclaimer on them?

Hey Squirt,

Way to lead with an inflammatory and totally inappropriate headline. Your "It's already started" implies a link to the 2257 brouhaha, but alas, it's just a site being closed down for copyright infringement. Not even in the same ball park.

Now, why don't you go down to your local mall, find the most crowded spot, and yell, "FIRE!"

You don't see the correlation between the DOJ shutting down sites that violate their regulations and our June deadline for the new 2257 regs with the DOJ ?
