Major bittorrent incidents you seen ?

Demo

teh biggest ever was suprnova closing.
oink won't be missed.

The biggest disgrace was the shutdown of Scenenetwork with the publishing of the 'list' of ip's and email info of people the sysop didn't like, I still think Agent47 is a complete arse who shouldn't be allowed in the bit torrent community.

only suprnova was public outta those.

suprnova was by far the biggest "incident"
it was the 1st real torrent tracker, there were a few small ones before it, but suprnova was the start of mainstream torrenting. it wasnt so much as closed down, but the owner was offered an amnesty if he shut the site down, he was promised he wouldnt be prosecuted. the site had attracted so much heat that he took the offer

i've seen people get raided by the fbi, but i guess that isn't bt related.
