The loki torrents debacle which was a site collecting money($30,000) supposedly to fight the MPAA because they had gotten a shutdown notice and then after collecting all the cash just shutting down without putting up any kind of fight but keeping the money.

Sites like torrentfreaks and this site will give you all the incident reports you could fathom.
Excuse Me?
Didn't Think So!
ET, TIT, OINK and some small ones.
Yep, this was a really punch in the stomach for the bittorrent community... So many people donated money, hoping that a big trial will stop the MPAA and Webber (LokiTorrent.com onwer) just took of with the money... I think many people realized then, that donations do not always go where they are supposed to.
Elitetorrents being shut down had the biggest impact on me (even more than demonoid, oink, suprnova).
Shutting down Demonoid was a bigger shocker for me. I still hope Deimos will put the site up again.
Oink and demonoid
