I'm honestly wondering if they will ever find the private tracker im a member of less then 30k Members worldwide and its hiding behind Several fake webpages and there are no Outside links google will get you no where.
Only way is a direct bookmark. GL ... But ya never used it anyhow the trackers i use have massive download speeds.
I just watch old movies mainly the ones you cant even find anymore.

Another funny (sad) aspect of this story is...US Authorities arrest 3 Germans in New Zealand...It's strange how countries cooperate when it is in cooperate (pun not intended) interests.

Damn... here I was thinking I was safe on our little island.
Goddamned US, we don't want your nukes, and we sure as hell don't want your laws!
I'll be damned if I sit back and watch my country get Yankeethized.
Where were those Germans situated?

I am not sure, but is North Shore District something you can relate to? Found here.
Another fun (sad) fact: Multiple musicians and artists (P. Diddy, Snoop Dog among others) made a song FOR Megaupload, defending it. It got taken down by Universal Music because it allegedly infringes some copyright :crazy:Any sane person must notice now, that all those record labels and media lobby organizations don't give a damn about the genuine artists.

But the 'why care, I don't use Megaupload' post made me think of Niemöller's lines. Neither I used that site, but the events made me feel unease. Maybe I should have paraphrased the quote...

' Wrote:so they got shutdown because the servers were in virginia? and i thought the US govt can just go and close foreign entrepreneurship at the whim of a magic wand ... at least i can sleep safer tonight.
Virginia has had strong anti-piracy laws since the 1980's. Many companies have found out the hard way that if they are skirting the law in the slightest way, it's not a good idea to have a server or an office in Virginia.

Freedom of speech is quite a big part of being free I guess.
