What a sad day.
Before we know it, the U.S. will be banned from any website that these mega corporations see as a "threat" to their business. |

| Welcome to the United States of Isolationists
First 'we' outlawed online Gambling (Oh, except for horse racing and inter-state lotteries).
Now the **AA is succeeding in driving out a popular and still up-and-coming technology because they can't figure out how to make money off of it.
No wonder so many countries want 'control of the internet' out of the US. |

Yeah, not to mention the IRS making people pay their taxes, Microsoft fighting software piracy in China, police putting criminals in jail. What a bunch of jerks! |

| Well, as usual instead of reserving all un-enumerated rights to the people, the courts chose to deny the right to link to government/corporate censored material. See the DeCSS/2600 case for the root of these problems.
But hey, if the next president doesn't have a distraction for us, we might be able to pass some laws that would please the majority of voters on this issue. |

I'll bet DHT usage will increase significantly.
ie - While "you" may not be able to talk to torrentbox tracker, those who can and have DHT enabled will pass peer lists to those who can't.
And once you've connected to a few peers, the various PEX implimentations (would be nice if everyone would agree on a single, compatible, version) will also spread the info. |

Re: DHT growth
Exactly. What people are failing to see, is that this is quite possibly the best move the torrent community can make. It is all part of "decentralized" tracking.. the bigger picture, anyway.
By disabling access to the tracker, they are avoiding the legal bullet. This does NOT, however, mean that US users can't download off the peers who are connected to that tracker. Peer lists get shared, and the net effect? You can't "look at" the website.
The MPAA seem to have moved away from trying to SHUT DOWN the websites, towards prosecuting individuals. They thought they could take the easy way out, and try and get the courts to force user data from the websites. This data no longer exists, and so they will have to look for this data themselves.
The problem? How reliable is their method? Will the courts agree with their methods? Do their methods violate privacy laws? Is it WORTH it to take the individual to court? Will they win?
This is a large step in defeating the MPAA, not the other way around. |

Welcome to the United States of no more freedoms..
Seems we, the citizens of the USA, are letting greedy mega-corps, deep-pocket special interests, and the power-hungry politicians remove all of the basic freedoms we struggled so hard and so long for.
This MADNESS is becoming worse then any dictatorship-ran, soviet-styled oppressed country.. makes me sad to be an american. (Note: no capital "a" used on purpose)
it is indeed a sad day..

You mean the basic freedom of illegally obtaining and distributing content without consent? If you truly feel too oppressed here in America, there are numerous other countries around the world that will more than welcome you with open arms so that they can really show you what oppression is like. |
