Hello!Originally Posted by kurse
PG does not do shit to protect you on BT. The IP's are given to everybody in a swarm by the tracker so only connections to you are refused but still they will be able to see you in the Swarm!. PG are only somewhat functional for DC,Kazaa and ED2K people!!.
With regard to the topic discussed I think it is indeed a sad day for us BT users but hopefully a replacement will arrive!!. I think it was pretty stupid though by the site owner to host it in the US so that the feds could get to him!!.
I recommend The Pirate Bay the worlds largest tracker and it is swedish and the feds cant get to it:

Feel free to download the latest Star Wars there just to mess with the feds!!.
And dont forgett to read their legal threats section![]()

how "big" is big ET was was my main torrent site for about two monthsOriginally Posted by RPerry

I done file sharing! The last thing I need it a big fine or jail time, its not worth it.
Well it would seem that they have gone after the big sites and have yet to attack individuals that I know of as perhaps they learned from the music indutries mistakes which only created very bad image for them.
Its also common sense that if they get the big sites down then there this stuff just wont be as accessable to the public as it is now since after all bt is just way to accessable now and just an irritant to them in a big way.
The clear drawback of the entire app seems to be that it requires a tracker and that in theory it becomes a cetralized item which goes back to what took down Napster for that matter. It would seem for bt to survive it must become trackerless which there are already moves towards this now. The sites with trackers and the like just are to easy of a target and really no suprise that this has happened and that most likely will continue...

The latest I've heard, and I can't confirm its accuracy, is that this whole thing has to do with a stolen workprint version of StarWarsIII. Thats why The FBI, and DHS and US Customs are involved![]()

Based on some things I have heard recently, I wouldn't doubt it. But I'm betting on what I said last as being the root cause, I have it on pretty good word. What happens after the criminal investigation is another thing.Originally Posted by RealitY
http://money.cnn.com/2005/05/25/technology/piracy/The search warrants are not public, said Zuieback, a U.S. Immigration and Customs spokeswoman. She said the raids were directed at individuals known as "first providers," or those who initially made the copyrighted material available online.
Zuieback did not say whether Wednesday's action was directly tied to the "Star Wars" theft.
