Guest Fook Report post Posted May 26, 2005 http://elitetorrents.org/ http://www.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel05/...rrent052505.htm The real story here isn't that another torrent site is shut down (although ET was a kickass site), but that it's the FBI doing it, not the MPAA/RIAA, and also that even though the site owners don't live in the US (they're in the Netherlands), criminal charges are still going to be brought to them.

Mole 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2005 I can understand if they don't want people downloading movies since one has to pay for them, but why TV shows? Since we are now in the DVR era, commericals don't really matter. Fuckin pisses me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 The Pirate Bay just got shut down. Looks like they're really cracking down hard now as that's at least three sites in the last few weeks that have been closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
