Was ET lying to there members and themselves thinking it was ok to have there HQ in the states?

Well we won't know now... :dry:

That's complete BullSh*t cause I say it first on Torrentbytes but it was promptly removed I think for this very reason.

Re: EliteTorrents.org

well torrentbytes is being brave: Star.Wars.Episode.III.Revenge.of.the.Sith.RERIP.TC.SVCD-TUN

:01: i would have thought with notes like this on other sites, there would be no star wars 3 on any torrent sites:

Quote:

2005-05-26 - Just a heads up -- anyone uploading a Star Wars episode 3 torrent (of any kind) will lose their uploads and get a warning as of 05/26/05.

Re: EliteTorrents.org

ontopic: Elitetorrents was a great, site - superfast, good releases. But what did they expect would happen with their server located in the US. I don't know the details, but if they were in fact the first to service Episode 3, thats pretty stupid. Leave it to a torrent site it another country.

But really, the weirdest thing about all this is the fbi page. Its obviously for real cus of the release on the fbi pages.. neither the page itself or the process is very professional. That website looks like the entrance to a 5 year olds homepage saying "girls keep out" or something...

thats what ive been saying but i guess ET didnt knew that US can invate a country in the name of freedom but cant cant give thier own people a lil bit freedom to share what they got.

Edit:
looks like the issue got some international attention.
here is a scaned page of daily paper,

Re: EliteTorrents.org

I hope someone keeps us up to date with the owners and members of ET, I would hate to hear them get into alot of trouble over this.

I only used ET and now having no other choice but to find others, I have found nothing compares to ET. Sad day for torrents.

Well get use to this...because best torrent site always get (or will) closed....First it was Supernova, no other torrent site could possibly take its place, then it was Lokitorrents, close to Supernova but not quite Supernova but still was great torrent site and now its ET. I can only guess which site will be next.....Torrentspy is also getting bigger, that just could be next victim.
Oh BTW there are more than 3 websites....that got closed by either RIAA or FBI, can't remember their names....
