aXXo Temporarily Stops Releasing DVDrips

Written by Ernesto on November 28, 2007 

The 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.

aXXo Takes Some Time OffThe 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.

Hi. COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE TRY OUT THIS POST I FOUND AND CHECK IF IT WORKS!!!please.

“MAKE $50K - FAST & LEGAL”
Posted by dcwill43 on Aug-31-06 at 01:23 PM (PT)
Make $50,000 fast- perfectly legal! REALLY WORKS!

THIS IS NOT A JOKE…….IT REALLY WORKS…….I SWEAR!

Matthew Jenneson, Cleveland, Oh -”within 2 hours I had $400″

Do you need extra income ? Quickly and Legally ?
Do you have a PayPal Account ? ( if not, the set up takes under 5 minutes AND IT’S TOTALLY FREE !!! )
You could make up to $ 50,000 in one month’s time with more money coming in every month thereafter !

$ 50,000 in PayPal ?
That’s Right ! $ 50,000 dollars in your PayPal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL !!!
You may have heard of this program ( or one like it ) on 20/20 or even in the Wall Street Journal.
$ 10 that’s all it takes. I’ll try to keep it short and sweet.
To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have as much as $ 50,000 in your PayPal account or even more.
Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ( $ 10 dollars ) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this ( you can do it over and over ). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people ! Honesty, Faith, and Intregrity make this system work.
I think everyone has heard of PayPal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE ! If you’re not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up.
Sign up for PayPal here http://www.paypal.com
It’s real easy to set up and it’s FREE !!! Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down.
Send $ 5 to the first person on the list by using the paypal send money feature, and include in the e-mail: “Please add me to your list”. This keeps the program legal. Then send another $ 5 to the 5th person on the list, with an e-mail that says: “Thank you. I’ve joined”.
Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, and the 5th into 4th.
DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST !
If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the top.
REMEMBER TO SEND a $ 5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message “PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST”, and send an e-mail with the words “THANK YOU - I’VE JOINED” and the other $5.00 dollars to the 5th person.
This will help the 5th person to keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more e-mails. Here is the list:
1.) desaulles3@yahoo.com
2.) Justin3442@aim.com
3.) neuclaalum1@hotmail.com
4.) jhorton999@yahoo.com
5.) deeprules@hotmail.com
(Make sure it’s the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal account. This is the way you will receive your payment)
Now that you have paid the 1st and the 5th person and sent them both an e-mail ( via PayPal account ) and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.com, backpage.com, message boards and newsgroups (there are thousands) and you can even send an e-mail to your e-mail list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 “THANK YOU. I’VE JOINED” replies.
The fifth person is the guardian of the system ! If there are not at least 20 replies then the 5th person will keep sending/posting the letter until there are.
MAKE SURE YOU SEND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE 5TH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT !!!
Now the fun happens. We reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars !!! Seriously, it’s common sense - you do it and 25 or more people see and do the exact same thing and everyone wins !!!
You will recieve thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you $ 5.00 dollars ! Keep in mind the most you spend is $ 10 DOLLARS ! ( WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND ! )
********************
TESTIMONIALS:
Mary Gatters, Columbus, SC:
I only have one thing to say to you: OH MY GOD ! I sent out 142 copies total before 20 replied, like the instructions said. Then I went on a short vacation. When I got back, my account had over $ 32,000 dollars in it already and the money was still coming ! I’m still floating in air (especially with my new car). I thought the guardian system sounded cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula that makes this letter really work ! THANKS !
Richard Barrie, Boulder, CO:
I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $ 22,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account !
HERE ARE THE STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS AGAIN:
Step 1.
Set up your PayPal account, if you don’t already have one, and send the top name ( 1st person ) $ 5.00 dollars. DON’T FORGET to include “Please add me to your list”. This is important as it keeps the program legal.
Step 2.
Send the other $ 5.00 dollars and and a note stating “Thank you. I’ve joined” to the 5th name on the list.
Step 3.
Remove the top name, bump the other 4 names up one place each. Place your name in the bottom slot and you will receive a minimum of $ 100.00 for your efforts.
Step 4.
Keep sending/posting the letter until you receive 20 “Thank you, I’ve joined” replies in your mailbox.
That’s it, It’s that simple !

Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of pocket is about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking thousands of dollars into your PayPal account! Take the smallest risk of your life !!!! Take 10-20 minutes to work on this small project and reap the rewards !

WAITIN FOR YOUR RETURN .
YOU ARE THE BEST.
YOU ARE THE RIPPER MASTER
THANKYOU

711 Feb 02, 2008 at 00:16 by .

it is clear that the scene is pissed because he “steals” stuff from them..
actuall, I think thats ok

on the other hand, aXXo did much work, and the scene did much work - generally both of them did a lot of work to provide virtual richness to people, also people who dont know where the things come from - some of them don’t even give a shit about that

Anyway, my question is, why is the scene pissed about aXXo, who is reencoding their movies ?
I mean, really, think about that - maybe THE SCENE SHOULD RELEASE THEIR STUFF UNDER COPYRIGHT or something…. (sorry for capslock, I know its totally ridiculous)

Let’s face it, we are all on the same side of the river

712 Feb 03, 2008 at 00:16 by H1TM4N

I agree with #710 =]

713 Feb 03, 2008 at 21:48 by aXXo fan, aXXo is Legend

I agree with #55!

714 Feb 04, 2008 at 20:48 by JACKSMACK

I DONT AGREE WITH ANY OF YOU. YOU ALL MISS THE POINT COMPLETELY. WTF WOULD YOU ALL DO IF THERE WAS NO AXXO OR ANY OTHER GROUP TO RIP YOUR MOVIES FOR YOU? WOULD YOU THEN CRY LIKE LITTLE B!TCHES OR WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? BOTTOM LINE IS THAT 90% OF YOU PROBABLY LEECH EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON AND COULD GIVE A CRAP LESS WHERE IT COMES FROM OR HOW MUCH TIME SOMEONE PUT INTO IT. SAY IT ISN’T SO AND I’LL SAY YOU LIE LIKE A RUG.

715 Feb 05, 2008 at 03:41 by Savage_A

aXXo is da best n alwayz will be datz about it

716 Feb 05, 2008 at 04:57 by Mixed Feelings

Firstly i do have some axxo rips and i only have them for one reason and that is to see movies that i dont feel like i should pay for, so there low res thats the point you want to see a half decent copy of a movie without paying for it and you want it fast i mean its not like your goin to build up a collection of em is it. i like what he has done he has gained trust in what might be millions of people so they download and then seed which means we get to dowload them in a couple of hours watch them and then not press but HIT the delete button. What would you rather do waste money on DVD’s that disapoint you or use something you already pay for and get movies for free that CAN be deleted.

717 Feb 05, 2008 at 05:11 by Mixed Feelings

Of course there are always loopholes it is Not illegal to have these rips as long as you own the origional material ie. DVD because they are classed as backups so unless they make that illegal we will be just fine and dandy.

It’s not like that, and I am not going into details because it does not matter at this point

*YES*, I guess many people don’t know where the stuff comes from, and probably.. well at least many of the m dont give a shit where it comes from, but I mentioned that already

fact is, however, that there still are people who *do* care about that

719 Feb 06, 2008 at 11:32 by King_pIG

I just wanna say thanks to aXXo for his work,
Yes he re-encoded stuff and scene ripped it, but what other monkey couldn’t do that?. Also it’s not like scene went and made the movie or made the program to rip it.. So don’t get too upset all about this. I mean I done alot of similar stuff for self purposes and then some. But that was when I had the time and BT were not even heard of.
And the fact that aXXo goes to many sites and uploads his torrents is the best thing about his work. He deserves all the good cudos.

720 Feb 08, 2008 at 01:58 by Dawg

aXXo is the shit fuck all you who think otherwise. Go fuck your mothers in the ass!

stop whinning you little bitches and take it up the arse hollywood rich cunts1 Go AXXO and all the rest , u know who u r!

723 Feb 08, 2008 at 16:02 by Anonymous

ive been downloading aXXo rips for as long as i can remember. i have many a movie and all the best rips are ripped by aXXo. the only reason some of you idiots think he/shes rubbish is because youve been using shit sources and downloading fake aXXo torrents from people ripping off aXXo’s tag. accept that aXXo does good rips. if they werent good rips then why would aXXo have such a good reputation and have millions of people downloading his torrents? all you people who hate aXXo have problems, as he/she provide the internet with practically the only decent rips out there that aren’t subbed,french,german,some other random language, or out of sync.

724 Feb 09, 2008 at 05:45 by King_pIG

If all you “haters” have a problem here then why bother reading posts about aXXo? You can’t not like him that much otherwise it wouldbe a waste of your time posting amongst fans. Kind of contradicting don’t ya think, I think yous just want to jump on the band wagon and think your big and tough for slandering someone you don’t even know.
Do you have anything to really back up your argument of why aXXo is “not so good”?
So think again before opening your mouths to a bunch of complete strangers. While you sit there and make yourself look lost and confused and swear like a street hick. Make sense and come up with a plausable argument..
