Hard for me to criticize someone else's decision, I can only say that if caught in similar circumstances myself I would have clammed up and taken the rap. On the other hand I am not dumb enough to try and profit from a bit torrent site in the first place, so I guess it is a moot point.

Regardless of human nature and the desire for self preservation, any individual must adhere to his own ethical or moral code, and pretty high up on mine is don’t drop your mates in the sh**!
If he was part of that type of community then it should be the same for him, or he was a good pretender.
Having said all that I do get the pressure he may have been under, but hey if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen!
The main thing is that no staffers or other members got any (real) heat from this whole thing. It's a shame that the site is closed, but if all is good in RL, then there'll always be a way to return in some form (we all hope anyway).

That said,it is highly unlikely that whoever caused the site take down was some random guy.Probably a staffer.
you either misinterpreted what i said or you're a bit slow. if you have a legal document in front of you saying that if you give up your source then you'll get a reduced sentence, you take it and lie. whats the point of staying strong and not ratting if ratting doesnt affect anything? and i wasnt saying you shouldnt name uk-t because of how elite it was or some bullshit, i was in uk-t and nobody in there that i knew of had that attitude. im saying that if you name a huge place like mininova or torrentleech then you're just giving them information they already have and they clearly cant shut down places like those or they would have done it already, uk-t or any other small site on the other hand will and rightfully should close down shop if they are being investigated by the police. in this case saying "i got my dvd's from mininova" wouldn't change a thing except get you a reduced sentence, if you dont take that deal you're a fucking moron.Quote:

For a second I thought this thread was about bumrocks.
Wow you guys keep up with the latest things going down in BT. Nice.
You are calling me slow? You think it is better to lie about someone not involved at all in the situation and that makes it OK? So it's alright to be a snitch (to reduce your own sentence) as long as you are a liar too. I hope you never get caught doing anything because you are a cop's best friend. You'll roll on anyone to save your own ass. You have obviously missed EVERY bit of advice posted here. Please re-read and have someone explain the big words for you.Quote:

well, i've been interrogated 4 times: first, they tried to be friendly as possible with me but the situation has quickly escalated and they tried to hurt me (they even beat me on the face repeatedly) but i was strong enough not to crack under the pressure.
i didn't crack but honestly, i couldn't blame someone who can't resist to such an agression. in this kind of situation it's not a matter of ethic anymore but it's a matter of character.
