The law clamping down on 'The Piratebay'

looks like its up and running again, but was down for around 24 hours.

Not surprising. A couple of years ago I downloaded an unreleased torrent file movie from the site and the next day my internet provider threatened to turn off our service because some movie company was monitoring the downloads and IP's.

I guess ir was due to some type of copyright infringement and my service provider was being held liable for my use of the website and downloading the torrent.

I can see the point, but was shocked to have them go that far feeling I had done nothing wrong. I argeed to not seed any of the movies that had yet to be released on DVD just to be on the safe side.

we just had a 3 strikes law implemented here in NZ.

times a changing!

CR makes me buy more products now than ever. If I download it and like it I buy it 99% of the time. Music/Games/Blu rays.

Only fools p2p.

Paid SSL Newsgroups are best.

IRC still is safe enough.

Google it.

You can never stop file sharing unless you shut down the internet. And then you still cant stop it because people will trade through mail or something lol.

yawn, too slow. i bought a pirate bay tshirt.

ya you know how many of us do that

fact is teh torrent freaks buy more product than anyone else and that been proven.
