You don't think the authorities have access to government supercomputers and dedicated fiber lines for the purpose of seeding torrents?

Yeah, what did happen? There's nothing about it on the home page, and the forums are down. Someone was giving out ip's of a swarm of a certain torrent?

I cant post the site. Its filtered and my post got deleted. Should be easy to find, its a blogger that covers file sharing.

piracy watchdog group BAYTSP, which in large part represents the MPAA and its subsidiaries, has begun to encroach into the private tracker sector.

Some dude got a copyright infringement letter, and felt that it was great news. Oh noes

They can just as easily act like me or you. They don't want to make their own site to catch people. They want to bring reputable sites down. That's what hurts. They don't want every tom dick and harry that file shares. They want the site owners. I think as most know the pirate bay is just the beginning of the storm that is yet to come. I got strong feeling things are going to be getting alot worse and soon. It's not that a site has been brought down, but what the sites reputation was before it was brought down. It hurts our moral and puts fear into our lives. For instance if ftn and or bitmetv was brought down I would likely give up all hope for the torrent world and stop using torrents.

what the f is riaa and mpaa then ? and btw , no one's touchin FTN or other sites

it's naive to think that law enforcement can't get into anything they want to. I know most of you have the attention span of a housefly, but you need to read over these articles and think of the implications:

The riaa and mpaa have to follow the laws they prosecute against. I mainly refer to as what some would call a special task force. That will break the law to prosecute people. I'm sure you've heard of the term narc.
