This is just the thin edge of the wedge.:( Big money talks.:ph34r:
I think we should all change our .bin extensions* in case it gives them an excuse to knock down our doors claiming it has Bin Laden connections.
* Dont do it! its a joke.:lol::lol:
OH MY GOSH....Quote:
The FBI had been posing for a considerable amount of time as server operators, inviting people to upload and download material. Once a solid relationship had been established between the FBI and top warez sites, the trap had been set. It was only a matter of time until the FBI had collected enough evidence to make an arrest. While the FBI has only announced the arrest of one individual, it is expected that more information will be released today implicating additional people.
According to Restless.ugtech.net, who broke this news event, the FBI ran a server name "Chud" and "Lad". They were administered by an undercover agent named "Griffen." The warrant, which was released yesterday, named "killaz, marvel/cartel, cin, sidar, dact, korax, bourbon, and burner." When more information is released today, more specific information on these individuals will be available.
Chirayu Patel, aka "Dact" was arrested 9 AM yesterday. During the arrest, police seized his computers and burned DVD/CD discs. More troubling, he was told the police were working with the FBI to "round up people that were on a FBI run site." The story concludes, "ITS TIME FOR EVERYONE BIG TO GO HIDE."
According to the Mercury News, two FBI servers and two warez server contained 27 terabytes of information. Such pirated material as the movies "Star Wars", "Batman Begins" existed, while software valued at almost $400,000 also was seized.

It was not even a major site and had been selling leech slots anyway for a long time so the people deserved it.
For every site that goes down another will grow, in the last 2 years only like 3 topsites have been raided and many more have been formed, you all still get your files so there by no way winning. Siteops just need to stop letting in n00bs and go back to the old days when only way you got on a site was by having respect.
nooo? :unsure:Quote:

That was the first thing out of my mouth yesterday when I read this story. I really think they are going way overboard now. Hope some judge will wake up and ut them in their place :dry:Quote:

All this is really sad :( but FBI have years and years of work if they want to exterminate the scene :cool:
And IMO it is much more probable that p2p dies of natural death than killed by the FBI :D
Thing is, 2 groups gone, but by the time the next bust happens there will be at least an extrea two groups. Setting up a bust takes months, setting up a release group and releasing can take one night.
Last major group bust was Fiarlight in march 2004;
and the group didn't even 'die' they just stopped activly releasing, infact they did release some war game like 6 months later.Quote:

Game information:
=================
Legends never die!
You all read the news - Operation Fastlink struck hard to the heart of the
scene and hit the FairLight ISO section, but mind that the demo activities
on the PC and C64 are still naturally untouched, as there is nothing to
complain about from a legal point of view on what they are doing.
So, let me underline it for you again: FairLight's ISO section is lethally
wounded, but the group as such is still alive and kicking!
FairLight is built stronger to last longer.
FairLight is bigger than one and even all of the sections.
FairLight is and you can rely on the fact that FairLight will continue to be!
Respects to the Fastlink people for finding the core of the scene, which is
not an easy thing to do.
They are doing their job and we're not whining! In war, people take bullets
- we are aware of this!
If you can't stand the sight of body bags, then stand back and let the
real men do the work for you.
We attack, adapt, improvise and survive!
We are FairLight and will continue to be FairLight.
FairLight IS the delight of ETERNAL might!
/Bacchus on Behalf of the FairLight council
PS:
Reading up on the izonews.com is very distressing.
People tend to think that there will always be another cracker and that
getting the games early is star quality here. It's not!
Protections of today are ones that *very* few can penetrate and those who do,
should be worthy the respect. Downloading them fast is just a matter of a
fast line in combination to access to a site.
Skills stay, whereas the access can be revokes instantly!
So admire the striker of the ruling football team and don't not feel proud
about being the beer bellied lardass, who managed to get a ticket to watch
unless you don't stand amongst the supporters, singing praise.
You have no idea of what it's like to play and what it takes to excel!
We do it for the thrill, joy and the fans, but don't take us for granted
without showing justified respect.
More On FairLight
FairLight as a group enjoyed it's 17th birthday in April 2004 and is amongst
the oldest on the scene, and possibly the only one this old having a unbroken
line of reign on several platforms since it's birth.
Our council has a common scene experience exceeding 50 years.
We've proven the group on the Commodore 64, the Amiga, Super Nintendo and
the PC, with a modular approach to forming the group.
Current vivid activities still includes demo production on the PC and
one the Commodore 64.
/Team FairLight
People are screaming this is the end of downloading and such but its not (mind you people do that for everything these days) a torrentsite goes offline for 2 hours and people start posting of the apocolypse (sp?) where no one downloads and we pay for items we should.
/Team Peerzy :ermm:
Man, they raided the house! Talk about embarrassing, the neighbors must have been like,"Oh my god, A Terrorist!".
