WTF....Now thats really bad...
political motivation? :S
God forbid anything should be free. God forbid anyone should want opt out and give something away ie: SHARE!! The greedy greens have won! Runaway capitalism rules the day. Ya'll better be prepared for that knock on the door..♫the knock on the door...yeah they're coming to take one more...one more♫
Even more reason to stay away from public trackers
this means nothing.. it will just be appealed at this point.. and i find it pretty funny that the verdict was leaked just like movies .. lol
i hope they win the appeals
TPB will always stay online, even if they go to jail
So do I. A year is a hell of a long time to sit in a cell.Quote:

well that had to happend once...
Haha that happens in countries where internet access is such a luxury. For example in central america you can go anywhere and get a copy of the latest movies for DVD or you can pick up your favorite music. Music CDs are $1 and DVD Movies are $1.5. And there is no anti piracy organization shutting them down there. It's all done freely there.Quote:
