What surprises me most is that this news actually surprises people. This isnt the first time they've only let people join by paying. They were doing this a couple of years ago. TL has always been about making money. Why do you think they have ads on top of their thousands of vip members. Even Kingrob openly admits the sysops make money from the site.
As for making them a target for the authorites...
1) The owners are from Greece and feel pretty safe as their country is apparently pretty lax about copyright laws
2) The authorities are already there. Go search the TL forums and other boards. You will see that a fair few of their users have been sent cease and desist letters.
yep its all abouth money and TL is doing what they know the best money money and money,well im suprise because they get a lot of money anyway for they donors and now this,i could understand if they need for some upgrades or something,but dont think so...
but i just hope its temporarily..
I'm sure temporary = until the burst of people who where willing to pay for invites in the first place dies off.
"They were cheap masks locked on festering thoughts--voices gabbling to drown out the loud silence in every breast."
lol.. torrentleech is a shitty tracker anyway, i wouldn't pay 25 euros to join.
A TorrentLeech VIP membership gives you no Wait Times, Slot Limitations, or Ratio Requirements. Furthermore, you get special IRC privileges and automatic entry to a monthly VIP iPod/iPone/Game Console draw.
