aXXo Temporarily Stops Releasing DVDrips
Written by Ernesto on November 28, 2007The popular DVD ripper aXXo is a BitTorrent cult figure, despised by some, worshiped by others. An estimated one million people download aXXo’s rips every month and his name is among the most searched keywords on all BitTorrent sites. Not surprisingly, rumors start to spread when there is no official aXXo release for a while.
The last official aXXo torrent was uploaded November 11, after that is has been awfully quiet. So what happened, did he get caught, is he tired of releasing DVDrips, did he have an accident? It turns out that aXXo is not gone for good, he just decided to take a break.
ADL 242, an administrator on Darkside RG, the official home of aXXo explains: “aXXo told us that he has decided to take a break, so you will not see new aXXo torrents anywhere for a while. Please show your support by keeping his torrents alive until he comes back, as always, he will post here first when he does.”
This is not the first time that aXXo has taken some time off. Last year aXXo temporarily stopped uploading movies because a website named axxotorrents.com was trying to profit from his name. A few weeks after that the site went down and aXXo continued releasing DVDrips.
Earlier this month aXXo caused a stir when he deleted all his torrents from The Pirate Bay website. Apparently aXXo wasn’t very happy with the way The Pirate Bay handled his complaints, and decided to not release his torrents there anymore.
Unfortunately, aXXo’s popularity has downsides too. We’ve seen that anti-piracy organizations use his name to trap people into downloading fake files, and malware peddlers use the aXXo brand to spread their infested software.
At this point is is not clear how long aXXo will be inactive, his fans can only pray, and hope the he will return soon.

“This is illegal and he will get caught. I will send all my lawyers after this guy.”
Yes because Media Defender would really post on a torrent website telling us they’re sending their lawyers after him.

Whats illegal ? Not ripping DVD’s ?
Dumbo …
media locker : without axxo and others you’d be unemployed
Everyone deserves a vacation from time to time.
I am the lawyer representing Media Locker and I am here to offically put on the record that he makes mistakes. He’s not a very nice person and he would like to apologize for his retarded trolling actions.
I think we can all give his mom a round of applause for trying her hardest to mature a misguided cockweasel.

when are we going to get some good news on here? seems to be all doom and gloom just now :(
There are lots of fakes in his name. It is really annoying.

BREIN puts btmon.com offline
In Dutch …

Does aXXo think he’s cool? He’s a little bitch, lol.
English
The Foundation BREIN urged the site Bittorentmonster to stop spreading illegal movies, music and software. According to pressangency ANP staat the site is down, but it appears to be still online.
Bittorrentmonster does not offer the illegal content itself, but has links to the torrents. Thats illegal in Holland. Btmon.com serves about 1,7 million visitors / month.
BREIN keeps on going. the anti-piracy foundation will go on “till the last illegal sites and servers have lerft the Netherlands”.
Heh. I’ll admit I’ve got a few axxo rips on my HD right now.
But doods, calling him a cult figure? More like an infamous pirate. He’s re-encoding scene releases for most of his ‘Rips’ with no proper credit given.
Yeah yeah, no honor among theives blah blah blah.
He knows hes done it, so do most intelligent downloaders. Various cases can be shown with proof of this.
He’s taking high quality scene rips and downcoding them to 700meg crap. I think it would be much better without him myself, as the axxofanboys would be downloading the scene releases instead, which means more peers for the rest of us.
big deal….
