Hmm yea, i woder what are the charges...

There is a note saying that no content is being hosted on a website.
Downloading itself is not illegal, only sharing the material you downloaded, or basically seeding stuff for other people.

Big arrest but how they gonna get this case done if they actually cannot come up with any reasonable charges.

recieved a pm in THS...

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

For weeks and weeks now we have talked about using the same passwords here that you use elsewhere. As many of you may have already heard of come aware of, Oink was raided early this morning. If you share a password OR email address between our site and Oink, YOU MUST change you password here ASAP. It is a security risk as the Oink servers were seized and the information on those servers can be used in attempts to access any accounts their users may have had elsewhere

thought of sharing it with everyone .

. so change the password's for your own security

I always laugh when I see those. sct has by far the funniest one i've seen thus far. Looks like it was a direct copy from amazon.com or something. Anyways, legal agreements can't just be copy pasted onto a site and work. For example, I can't put "by logging onto this site you will agree to pay me $1,000 each month form here on after" into FTN's user agreement and expect to be able to take you to court and win. There's a lot more to a legal agreement than just putting it into a php document.
If you really believe those petty legal agreements saying shit like that stupid act Bil Clinton supposedly signed protect you, you're just being silly.
