Life is getting tougher for the companies aiding and abetting users determined to obtain copyrighted materials without paying for them. Good!!
And a traceroute seems to indicate that Neutral Data Centers Corp is their new ISP.
Edit: corrected info about ISP.

Umm, they'll be back in action soon. It's just a very valuable resource for those that use torrents. The fact that the **AssAss's don't like it, well, that's just an extra bonus!

We need to shut google down since the aid and abet my search for torrents. While we're at it, we should shut down every internet site that has a hyperlink to a torrent site or file.

We need to shut down the entire internet for 10 years or so...maybe more..then we won't have these blood sucking pirates anymore. We can go back to being ripped off by the music and movie industry, just like the good ol' days. While we are at it, might as well stop making DVD's since they are way too easy to duplicate, and go back to standard VHS. I also think digital cable should be outlawed, as well as the sale of blank CD's and DVD's. Computers with a processor speed above 100MHz should be banned as well, since they can do too much. MP3 players should be banned and anyone owning one should be thrown in jail for at least 9 months. Apple should be shut down entirely, with the assets going to the music and movie industry. Satellite radio needs to be banned as well. To easy to record that stuff. We need to get back to the traditions...commercial radio and TV. Oh...and video stores must wait at least a year after a movie's release to theaters before renting.
There..that should make them happy. Now i am off to burn my laptop, mp3 player, dvd player etc, since I am such a bad citizen.

Piracy will never end and RIAA will never give up trying to fight it, as long as there's money to be made or money to be saved. |

Re: Well they are still offline
Agreed.
The xxIA has way too much legal power and influence, given their original intent.
We should penalize them for all the frivolous lawsuits within the past 2 years.
Maybe they'd think twice about waging a holy war on every server that contains the words "file sharing".

| Lest you all be confused by the FACTS!!
Here they are....
Movie downloads account for a mere SEVEN PERCENT of all video downloads! PORN accounts for over SIXTY PERCENT!
The rest is made up by TV shows (time shifting), ETC. ETC.
Yet.. you don't see a PORN association trying to kill the Internet. Instead the porn industry GIVES IT AWAY, knowing that in the long run it will MAKE THEM MONEY!
Why can't the movie industry realize that the movies they are making SUCK and are WAY too expensive?
I don't go to movies anymore, nor do I download them. Why? because THEY SUCK, that's why!!
With regards to music, EVERYONE KNOWS that the RIAA is simply trying to PEE INTO A HURRICANE without getting their pants wet! They have had OVER TEN YEARS to start their own online music store; they have not. Instead, they cling to an outmoded, obsolete distribution model and sue everyone who tries anything different.
Study after study after study shows that downloaders BUY MORE MUSIC then non downloaders. Yet, the RIAA rewards their BEST customers by SUING THEM!
Their behavior defies logic....... |

There needs to be a new system that deals with this stuff. We need to axe the MPAA and RIAA. They clearly have waaaay too much power than they were intended to have. I mean c'mon, if they did force the ISP to take it down, what's next? This is pretty scary, at least to me. If you guys really don't like the RIAA or MPAA, you simply have to stop buying their products. Support independent labels and artists. The only way to get at these crooks is to get 'em where it hurts, and that's their pockets. Even if it means pirating more of their music =P |

Right from the front temporary page....
"Update, Jan. 17
FYI, since this is a common topic, no, moving servers to Sweden or Sealand isn't going to help. I have no intention of hiding our servers. BitTorrent was created for legitimate distribution of large media files, and we stand by that philosophy as a search engine and aggregator. Our current ISP is in the US. Our new ISP is in Canada, where this temporary page is being served. Depending on whether we get our servers back in the US, we will be back in full operation sooner or later.
Update, Jan. 17, 2007 15:40 GMT - SecretSquirrel
So after screwing around with our gigabit switch for a few hours, I've given up on one particular task and I'm moving on, hopefully we'll have our data back today, because if we do, we should be at least halfway back up by friday. If we don't get our data back from our previous provider, it may take a little longer to come back live again, but we are working on it, so be patient.  " |

| Now that's not sensible. The ISP has no choice in such matters. Under the DMCA, they're a common carrier and can't be held liable for what their customers do, but only if they respond to valid takedown requests. I hate MPAA/RIAA, too, but if I ran an ISP I would comply with legal requirements - like them or not. |

But
But when you do this, they turn around and claim the reason their sales are down is because of downloads!
These cartels are completely in denial about the truth, which is: THEIR PRODUCTS SUCK!! |

| What are they doing illegal?
ISOHunt.com does not host any of the files. As I stated in a Pirate Bay thread they are just indexing files. The torrent engines don't host the files they just index them just like newzbin.com does. Someone find a law that says indexing information is illegal.
Oh wait don't do that cause then someone would have to sue the libraries for indexing the books they have. Or just sue sites for indexing the files they have available.
While were at suing and shutting down sites why not kill download.com they have an engine that indexes all of the files that can be downloaded.
Again the torrent search engines are just file indexing. Now show me a law that says that is illegal. |
