ThePirateBay.org , who also heed the charge in Swedish Politics as the Pirate Party, has been shut down and servers siezed by authorities in an atempt to disrupt their torrent distribution to copywrited materials. Although no copywrite law has been violated in Sweden, political international muscle, steming from private organizations, have flexed enough to stun TPB's operations and possibly its upcoming elections later this year.

Swedish law can be strange at times..
Yeah but in the US you can sue anyone for anything so I don't know if you can say our laws is strange.Quote:

seems all they need is some hardware to get the backup up and running and they said if theres more problems it will be moved outside of sweden , to perhaps finland :D no source im afraid only forum discussion. Scary part is that they took down a political organisations website aswell (and a bunch of others) , but perhaps the pigs (read cops) took the whole server room.
the funny thing is... 1 site will go down, 8 more will come up...
More like40 worse sitesQuote:

oh dear, *cough* Mininova.org *cough* *cough*
how many people here likes pirate bay??
i know i do,
TPB = 1000 leechers per feed.
Mininova = "only" 100 leechers per feed.
About, not exact of course. mininova is much beter IMO.
Still a shame TPB is down because of f:banana::banana::banana:y laws.
NZB's ftw \o/
Hmm...
I hate "antipiratgruppen", TPB and piratgruppen.org FTW =)
QFT :(Quote:

While pirate bay was a great website for a place that you dont need a membership, the membership only torrent sites are MUCH better. The one I belong to will allow you go max out your net connection most of the time despite not having many seeds and leechers. Futhermore, there are generally more seeders on a file than leachers. That is actually kind of a problem sometimes when u need to up your ratio because everyone else is already seeding and no one will end up downloading from you.
BUT to gain membership you must get an invitation from an existing member and they have member quotas (only allow a certain number of members at any one time to be registered and active) so becoming a member is rather difficult.
and no I will not tell you what the name of this site is nor will I invite you.
Thx for the :banana::banana::banana::banana: tease:slapass: So, were you trying to say these sites are better...or that you just hold yourself as more priveleged than everyone else?? God damnit, I hate LA all the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:s I have to live and deal with. You are all full of it.Quote:

Torrent is so last year, news sites is where its at! :D
news sites have been here for a while.
Some people think its the other way around that news grps r dead and torrent rules. But newsgrps just require a lil more work from the user.
i do use newsgrps as they max out my downspeed always i used ot be a heavy TPB user (also for patches and Demos) but like said by others the torrents on TPB have way to many leechers that nvr seed.
there are better torrent sites then the pirate bay but the better ones r usualy membership only and the real good ones dont allow you to becomne member unless a member invites u :( (demonoid.com ive heard is pretty good and has torrents i like wich r not easy to find but cant be a member :( )
Now see why and go and make a statement about exclusive sites, and being a member of such, that is just arrogant.
heh, I'm a member at demonoid. :D Demonoid is good for me because I can find some of the Dual Audio anime's I like. :/Quote:

If I had a code to give out, I'd hit you up. I do not have one to give out. :(Quote:

You'd be surprised, but the OC(Orange County) is pumping out the best music right now. And Florida.
almost as bad as trying to join a secret organization that doesn't exist.
Illuminati
Opis Dei (the real one we don't "know" about)
Free Masons (the real one we don't "know" about)
The PS
How does one find Torrent sites, because I know doign search for torrent sites doesn't realy yield good results.
The easiest way is to make your own ;)Quote:

Anyone willing to PM me about Torrent sites?
:wasntme:
Wow, this sucks!
How come this thread still exists when it has gone astray and now is blatantly against the rules of this site?
Has pirating become so main stream that nobody cares about it anymore?
I know that when I code I like to be compensated. I don’t particularly appreciate others spreading information on how to acquire free software.
^^^^ I don't see pirate talk anywhere in this thread. The most close referral is Anime, but it's known it's legal to download JAP Anime with subs until the Anime is launched in your country.Torrentspy seems to have a big selection of Anime torrents. Much more than mininova.Quote:

Never mind that you're getting copyrighted software for free, you're even jeopardizing the existence of XS. Now that's quite a stretch, but I'd still rather not take the risk.
the whole point of torrent sites like TPB is that they don't host copyrighted material, just information on where to find it.
Ed.
And it should stay that way..Quote:

You're right, XS is hosted in the USA. I'm so used to the real freedom of Spanish laws that most of the time I forgot I mostly surf the interUSAnet :DQuote:

I hate "Antipiratbyrån", and I love Peerguardian :D
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/2246/priat8zs.jpg
hehe peerguardian kind of sucks tho , they have alot more ip's. go private instead , torent dc or ftp doesent matter but a smaller group of people 500 or so is much safer then say tpb. but since filesharing is now only a minor offense in sweden they cant do anything since it has to be a crime that can get you 2 years in prison or more for them to get your homeadress from your isp.
Still better than nothing if you use TPB, but i know, private is the :banana::banana::banana::banana:.

Knoppix, and it was only because thats the first place my friend told me to look, and it worked great for finding Knoppix and i was happy. sucks to see it go down.
but in other news, DC++ clients are another very popular thing.
Last time I checked, BT accounted for something like 30% of all internet traffic.Quote:

Then u have to delete the whole thread consider the news is about TPB.
swedish police (www.polisen.se) ddosed , guess a lot of kids got very angry :rolleyes: well well seems tpb will be up again tomorow at the latest.
sad to se the cops spending a lot of money on something that is back up faster then they can eat a donut.
The Swedish law enforcement, not only seized TPB servers.
They seized all the servers in the room, not only the servers belonging to TPB.
But then again, it is not against the Swedish laws to have links (references) to copyright software.
With the summer vacation coming on, it will take the police, 3-6 month to investigate the information on these servers.
And return them back.
The Swedish police has once again displayed their incompetence in their work.
We will follow this up as times goes by.
Some more information:
Here is the video of the bust!
Just count the racks! Youll see why there is such a huge drop in Sweden

I'll tell you one thing guys....only way for the authorities/gouverment to win this war is to shut down the internet it self.
The "scene" and/or the "community" will always strike back in one way or another.

They would get like a bajjillion hits, since TPB has been made so notorious now, pointless/redundant.Quote:
