Feds shut down site


What do you guys think?


Link to the story

what does that have anything to do with us???

I think its great. Pay for shit, dont fucking steal content or music.

Gloom And Doom Get Out Of The Adult Biz Now

Exactly! :thumbsup

That was a Torrent file-sharing site. Plus, why the fuck is there a DHS seal on there? Since when is Darth Vader a national security threat? P.S. Nice word document.

Go tell your Mamma what to do. I don't take orders from you. I've been in this business 6 years. I aint going anywhere :321GFY

:thumbsup

They want everyone familiar with the DHS, so when they take over policing everything criminal, it will make you feel all warm & gooey inside :)

and so it begins...

Just wasted 10 seconds of my life.

Stupid thread.

Not even related to the current situation that's about stealing

Wrong

Did you read the article?

Gonzales, the Justice Department

It's a shinning example that they will shut down sites that violate their regulations, just like 2257.

It's very possible sites with no 2257 will be seeing that in the next 30days or so, time will tell :pimp

You are going to see a ton of tings getting out of hand rally fast.

:party-smi

I paid to see the movie in the theaters...if I wanna download to watch it again I wont feel too guilty

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Maybe they'll shut down a few password hacking sites too.
Cheap ass bastards, pay for your shit

Men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women!

its kind of funny watching you broke hippies complain about an illegal service being shut down.

the complaining usually comes from the same people that are in this industry for nothing more than beer money.

Well that has nothing to do with 2257 other than to point out the fact that the feds can move on your ass QUICK if they wish to do so.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I'm glad I've had my shit in order since I started this business. A little more indexing and we'll be done :pimp

Then again you can follow all the regulations, have a legal business, get raided, be in court for five years, have your life turned upside down, only to be found innocent in the end... like what happened to Mike Jones

Thanks for the laugh, man. :thumbsup :1orglaugh

QFT :2 cents: :thumbsup

wasn't it the same with torrentbits.org a few months ago already ? Hopefully my ratios with BangBus will go up now that their entire movies are no longer avail :thumbsup

I can just see you now

Muhahahaha :1orglaugh :thumbsup

That's like the 20th torrent site to go down in a few months. It doesn't have shit to do with shit concerning 2257. Only that the MCPAA got their whip cracking on torrent sites.

It wasn't the MCPAA that shut them down, it was the Department of Justice, the same people enforcing the 2257 regs. Read the article

Agreed. :winkwink:

Yes and the DOJ was able to shut that site down within DAYS. So don't they then have the SAME power to do that with any site not complying with 2257?

That's my point :thumbsup

"The Motion Picture Association of America assisted in the investigation that led to Wednesday's action against Elite Torrents, officials said."

How about you read it? I meant MPAA in the original post, too many acronyms these days. :upsidedow

A whole bunch of departments were merged into Homeland Security. The one which brought with it responsibility for copyright issues was Customs and Border Protection and resulted in Pufferbelly Toys of Oregon being visited by DHS agents - http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=206591 - for selling a toy named Magic Cube, a copy of Rubik's Cube.
