Torrenting - Is the end getting closer ?

[mievmo]

Last year we suddenly all received the news of large sites and important source of our information suddenly closed. Over the years, the fight against sharing/BT in world got stronger and more aggressive, so what does that mean? Are we approaching the end of an era Torrents? What do you think?

[TP635]

Yes. Nothing last forever, but as sure as BT death is nearing, some form of p2p will take over.

no its not dying in the near future,10's of sites opening each day,but maybe in some countires torrenting would be made harder,but there are always ways around it.i think

If torrenting ever ended, I think I'd cry (seriously).

It will surely be the hottest target in the coming years, for a fair number of reasons.
From taking up much of the available bandwidth of the ISPs, with so much centralized contents (making it easy to cut the dragon's head), from petty fights between the owners of those sites who thrive sharing everyone's information, being extremely easy to join any tracker (two of the ones that closed last year were supposed to be secretive).

I've used pretty much every available filesharing protocol and followed their "scene", and if there's one I wouldn't miss is bt. (well, I would miss it. For the lulz it provided).

Don't you use BT for almost all of your downloads?

I use all BT torrent sites myself and warez-bb once in a blue moon. I would die with BT I think lol.

...Anywho back on the topic of BT going down.. The only way they will ever stop BT is if they just start taking tons of people to court.
You shut one site down.... We move to the next one... this will happen forever (not to sound unsympathetic because I have great respect for sites that get shut down)

No I no longer do. I barely use bt nowadays.
Blame it on FST. It showed me the darkest corners of that world. If you took a look at the report section, you would agree with me without a blink.

No. BT takes a heavy toll on the ISPs infrastructures. Hence all the conversation about traffic shaping and download limits. And it doesn't stop growing.
If it will collapse, it will be due to the ISPs closing the tap.

Piracy will not go away, that much I'm certain of. Different means may arise, because the drive to pirate will always remain stronger than the drive to wipe us out. We are far more motivated to get our stuff for free, than the handful of file-cops are to catch/burn individual file sharers.

What works in our favour is that the ease or difficulty of torrenting depends a great deal on where you're from.

Im fortunate that my country doesn't try to impose the death penalty on BT users.

Gotta love it Viva la Pirates !!!

What do you use now adays then?

There are bad people where every you go, although I have no idea what kind of stuff you are seeing in the report section that deters you from BT.

Its the fastest method of filesharing and pretty underground on most sites.
