Torrentspy Acts to Protect Privacy Sorry, but because you are located in the USA you cannot use the search features of the Torrentspy.com website.Torrentspy's decision to stop accepting US visitors was NOT compelled by any Court but rather an uncertain legal climate in the US regarding user privacy and an apparent tension between US and European Union privacy laws. |

You say that porn is being traded in a new way...porn isn't like baseball cards...when you buy a membership to a paysite it doesn't give you the right to rip the content and start sharing it with your buddies and the rest of the world. We arn't talking about 15-30 second teaser clips or trailers that are being "traded", it's full videos, complete content sets.... |

if the vast majority of shemp links pointed to stolen content then he would have only himself to blame Quote:

tgp's are not torrents , no matter how many times you repeat it.. the big difference is the majority of tgp's dont contain stolen content or link to it. If they did then people would expect them to be shutdown. |

The reasons why "legal" torrents are great for bands, people sharing video, is because it reduces bandwidth costs.
The problem is that when people are sharing "legal" files, they are doing so against the TOS of cable/dsl providers, who have it in their clause about running "servers". Some ISP have blocked known ports for p2p and torrents. There is always workarounds for those trying to get through, but look out for the day when the cable company and DSL providers enforce their TOS issues. Fagetabout bittorrent servers hosted overseas, its the last-leg that is the most vulnerable. Look at "net neutrality" at what the cable/dsl providers were trying to do. If cable/dsl wanted to not cry foul that people are eating up their bandwidth, then they will just start to charge more for higher upstreams. Let economics decide who is going to pay for the "sharing". Fight the free lunches! |
A couple people have noted it in this thread, but I think it's worth point out again: TorrentSpy has not been shut down - they merely are blocking US traffic from conducting searches.
See the TorrentSpy blog post here. This was not forced upon them by the courts via the MPAA lawsuit, although IMO the decision to block US traffic is related to a recent ruling in that case. - Q. |
Will be interesting to see how this affects their Alexa rank over the next few weeks/months

Let's see.... if 75-80% of my sales come from US based customers... and those customers can't get my product illegally.... then they will have to shop for it legally... OK... no problem with them cutting out US surfers.... when the legal situations in other countries require the same... then they are effectively shut down. |

So, if someone ran a site called CPTorrents, and they predominantly traded in CP torrents...you would have an issue with them being held accountable? After all, they're not PROVIDING content...they're just giving people a place to share it. Nothing wrong with that, right? I'm not saying unlicensed content is anything like CP...I'm just using it to prove a point. |
there is no freedom in US, somebody occupied them for liberating ;)

That is assuming that 1} Shemp kept linking to stolen content after being notified by the true owners, 2} ignored the owners of the content, possibly even adding more stolen content each day, and 3} standing there saying "we are not responsible for our own site" over and over again. You make it sound like linking to one stolen picture would get you a visit from jackboot thugs beating you up and raping your daughters. Geez, get a life. Torrentspy and most of the other torrent sites thumb their noses publically at copyright holders and tell them to GFY. They have earned a few minutes in a cell with Bubba as a result. |

start all torrent sites shutting 1 to milions: how many times would it take to over come? 1 year? 2? ok let's say You beat all these milions, but don't forget still new torrent monsters keep coming. solution should be creating legal torrent traffic similar logic with tgps, but thats still my openeon, i think there should be many differant ways of getting rid off these bastards. Peace. |
Very nice, good work everyone

So much for using proper argumentation to defend the torrents that support illegal content ah!

because a person must click thru the directory links to find the content they want instead of just searching for it |

you know quite well that Shemp is not running a business based on stolen content... being tv shows, movies, software, music etc. torrent sites are. torrent sites are about sharing stolen content. the appeal of torrent sites is accessing and downloading stolen content and you don't have to be a legal genius to know that the site owners are doing so knowingly. maybe one time you will be bleeding to death on the side of the road and people will use your logic by saying "why should i help him.. it wasn't ME that shot him" |

The pro torrent responses are getting so fucking annoying.
Always from the same people who don't make the content (or any content) thats being stolen and spew "you should find a way to work with torrents" - with absolutely no money making idea to prove it can be done. Please.....fuck off |
Anyone that knows how torrents work and supports them is either involved with them or just playing dumb.
Their business model is based entirely upon generating profit from facilitating the distribution of stolen goods. It really is that simple. Fletch, as for your argument - it's invalid because Shemp would not have the stolen content linked (knowingly & willfully) in an effort to turn a profit (as torrent sites do.) And if he did, I would expect him to be shut down as well. Any company or individual, large or small, deserves the right to profit from any & all media they create. If they want to release some of it via torrents for promotional use, that's fine, but they shouldn't have to worry about it being stolen. |
thanks GFY, my traffic is up today :)

They didn't get smacked by that Dutch anti piracy group or gov't agency?

Sooo... you just use a proxy?

I don't think this will effect the torrent sites much, but i do think we need to become a bit more innovative to deal with stolen content from our sites.
something along the lines of , if you got a join on your pay site, all content must be water marked somehow , digitally.. yet invisibly different watermarks for different sites.. making it difficulty to remove such things.. if the content is found on torrent sites, you hunt down the member and sue their ass. if they lied or used stolen CCs you can still track their them down to their addresses and deal with them. once the risk for the torrent sites, will out way the rewards we will increase our sells once again. my 2c |

Personally, I think they just made things easier on themselves and American torrent fans. Now, you have to go through a proxy, which is probably a good idea anyway (from a don't get caught standpoint) so you're protected. Once you're in on a proxy and download the torrent, everything works as before.
Certainly someone who can figure out torrents can figure out the proxy thing. There's a million sites and they're easy. edited to say: no I don't own a torrent site, I just thought this was a pretty self serving move on their part |

stealing or helping people steal, depending on how you want to look at it. Either way they are in the theft business. I don't think most TGP owners are in the theft business. For any that are, I sure as heck wouldn't blame any of my buddies who produce that content if they sued the people living off of the theft of their work. While much of my software is free and open source, I sure have a plan of action ready to go when I find someone taking food from my kid's mouth stealing Strongbox or helping people steal Strongbox. |
