Lokitorrent down permanantly??
 

Just clicked on lokitorrent.com only to find an MPAA notice saying it has been shut down permanantly!, if this is right then is any bittorent site safe? I mean this was the only site who were fighting back legally against them :|

http://www.lokitorrent.com/

This doesn't look good... :?

it doesnt look good at all:

from the 10th feb doc here http://www.mpaa.org/CurrentReleases/

Scariest things in the states other than the army must be lawyers....gotta be

Fuck, so much for fighting the cause, looks like he has used the donations to save his ass :roll: and consequently given up all the people who uploaded torrents on there or shared substantial ammounts :roll: ahhh well still plenty of other options :D

well yeh, but while they might be going after the big sites and uploaders now.. what will they do once they have them but still have list of all the downloaders :|

surely there are too many of us to sue?, well i guess the worst they could do is send a cease an desist type notices via email or to our ISP's?. Though i'm no expert on all this :|

I have no idea...

Aye... this ain't good. I should start searching for more IRC channels to get my goods.

I guess nobody does really, especially as now nobody as far as i know is fighting back against this lot :-( they'll take it as far as they think they can get away with i guess :|

Begining of the end is heating up.

its not just the states you get in trouble, recently a man got arrested in hong kong for using BT. but the articles weren't clear on what he was hosting, torrent files or actual data files?

not many journos have an idea how bt works and yet their pieces still get published

Stifles creativity my ass. The same unmitigated crap has been coming out of hollywood for alot longer than the internet has been around :?

I don't think we have anything to fear for using torrents yet... it's pointless to "log" a torrent file's activity unless you're doing it actively. Torrent files themselves are not made up of copywrited material, and unless the MPAA has downloaded stuff directly from someone using the torrent, they cannot prove that the user was uploading/downloading copywrited material. Thus, from a legal standpoint, they can only sue someone who they've seen download a file. People who have submitted files on lokitorrent should also be fine: the MPAA has no proof that the uploader of the torrent also seeded.

Still though, this isn't good :roll:

it's all 1's and 0's if you think about it, your in trouble of giving someone else 1's and 0's, really, the world sucks!
