Close down one bittorrent site, and out of the ashes will rise another 10.
They are fighting a losing battle. |

Uh huh sure, whatever you say. Still doesn't make it true. After all that is one out of gods know how many tracker sites are out there, known and not known.
Besides, just because TorrentSpy didn't choose to fight doesn't mean there will be one that will, and what happens when that one wins? Which odds are is a strong possibility.

1 edit | Do You Hear That....
All of these battles over P2P is the last dying gasp of an industry that is desperately trying to cling to its outmoded, outdated obsolete mode of delivery. Any other industry throughout the ages has had to adapt in order to survive, but the entertainment industry via its bought and paid for Congre$$ional criminals believes itself to be above having to adapt. They just continue to throw money at the problem and digging themselves into an even deeper hole with consumers. Note: When Congre$$ has higher approval ratings than either you or your organization, the writing is on the wall.

They are doomed to play Whack A Mole
When will they (the MAFIAA) ever learn? Fighting online piracy
as they call filesharing, will never succeed. Knock down one
site or program and three or more others rise up to take their
places.
They really should be spending their money and enforcement
efforts on stopping physical piracy for profit. This hurts
them a whole lot more than filesharing does. And it is this
kind of piracy that funds terrorism and organized crime, and
involves more than music, movies and TV shows, and software.
Practically anything can and does get counterfeited.

1 edit | Illegal indeed
I use bit-torrent to receive British TV documentaries such as Time Team, and The Sky At Night. Channel4 has no problem with New episodes of Time Team getting posted on Bit-Torrent They have made very few episodes available on DVD, and when they do the site I down load them as part of the informal deal they have with Time Team's production company when all or part of an episode of Time Team is made available on DVD any episode featured on this DVD is removed. Same goes for BBC's long running astronomy series "The Sky at Night". So many excellent factual programs never make it state side for whatever reason. The best example I can think of is Channel4's excellent "The Great Global Warming Swindle". I have yet to be shown state side. It is a devastating documentary of how we are being lied to about man caused global warming and how ALGore is so full of sh*t his eyes are brown. Could it be History Channel, or the Discovery Channels will not show it because they don't want to step on the toes of the great inventor of the Internet.

LOL
Are you new to the BT world?
Have you heard of the Hydra concept?? They close one and 5 more appears. It's been going on since Oink closed down, In a few weeks you will hear that a "new" site just open, guess who will be behind it??? Yes you got it mods or admins from torrentspy  What a beautiful concept, it never dies. |

Re: And don't forget TorrentSpy just closed up shop ...
There are many solutions to this problem. P2P is easy to eliminate. Fracture the internet by country or by legal jurisdiction (EU would be 1 internet, USA would be another (I dont think its friendly with Canada at the moment), some islamic middle east countries may join together). Then once the internet is under many jurisdictions, 1 country has legal power over all content on the internet, and there is no worry about websites in other countries following other rules. Also it can be made to get a license to "host" a website, or to get open ports. |

Well how else do you expect them to make money? Are they supposed to be charities giving away content for free? If P2P continues to take over the world, content producers will get a Internet Tax applied, since there will be no other income. |

Re: And don't forget TorrentSpy just closed up shop ...
So you're basically suggesting the only way to get rid of P2P is to scrap the whole internet and turn it into a regulated and licensed medium?
True, but that's never going to happen, so P2P is never going to disappear. |

It can happen. Very easy to order all links to outside world cut, otherwise the CEO of the national telco gets the axe (literally). Burma did it. |
