The 'Federation Against Copyright Theft' is a private company, not an authority, therefore it has no power in law, except that which is granted by a court of law for specific cases.
Only a court can make a judgement that affects individuals or groups. While FACT can apply for a court order, they don't have the power to enforce law. The only agency that has the power to enforce a law are the local police force.
It makes me laugh when a bunch of jumped up twats think they have power that they don't have. The only thing they have is bullshit. Unfortunately, some people are scared of bullshit, and will run with their tails between their legs.
I used to use TD a fair bit before moving to Usenet, had a good ratio (also faked it a bit). Then when TD lost its database & quotas, that was time for me to quit. Never went back after that, although the site was a little slow to come back it was getting popular again. Always sad to see a site go, but who knows they may come back as something else.
People actually troll bittorrent and nzb indexing sites acting as authority. How do I know well because I met a person one day on the internet who proved it to me. He was the actually the one doing it.
