		<description>It&#039;s hard to stop these sites because they work outside the laws of the United States. Sure you can shut them down in the States, but the majority of them are run outside of the United Stats. Where U.S. Laws can&#039;t touch them. So as long as other countries continue  to do nothing about piracy. Piracy will live on forever.</description>

		<description>Actually, I think it would make sense to come up with a new way of funding the artists and associates.  I mean, to create the art, everyone got paid.  So that&#039;s covered, you just have to repay the guy who paid them.
  There should be an easy way to find the bankroller of the artwork online, a centralized copyright-credit database;  and having found the bankroller of the aristic work, there should be an easy to contribute money, like an associated one-stop site where you select the bankroller to pay, you select the work you are supporting, and you select the amount of money you want to contribute.
  If online money transfers could be simplified and popularized, I think this would be a great idea:  instead of FBI warnings on downloaded movies, there would be a &quot;If you like this movie, please visit make a payment to (bankroller) for (this film)&quot; , right before the credits.
  Ideally this would be the prime method of getting money from us to the creators of artistic work; obviously that&#039;s not possible, immediately or ever.  However, I think it  would be a great idea to implement right now _concurrently_ with the other sources of revenue they get.
  Because honestly, I&#039;d rather support the work directly by paying back its bankroller, then support the mafIAA by funneling the money through them.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;237717&quot;][quote comment=&quot;233126&quot;]Last week my wife and I dropped the kids off in the local mall&#039;s parking lot and there we waited for their natural father to show up for there weekend visit.  We handed the kids over, they got in the car, and it wasn&#039;t until AFTER they were all back in his SUV did I realize he must have been drinking (maybe a 6-pack or so) and noticed empties in the SUV on the floor.  He drove off after a little discussion so I called the cops, they did nothing.  I called the cops in the next county over, they did NOTHING.  So let me get this correct, The police forces of this world are more interested in protecting movie publishers and cracking down on little Bobby getting his next MP3 song to walk to school with than to stop a drunk driver with open containers and kids in the back?  Hard to respect any police agency that puts this much effort into a so called crime when in many countries it is legal so long as you do not make a profit off downloading.  Get back to real crime fighting and stop lobbying to make things a crime when they are not in some countries and shouldn&#039;t be in the others.[/quote]

You&#039;re a complete idiot.  Way to put your kids lives in danger.  You and Mrs. Lohan are front runners for parents of the year.[/quote]

  You have a big mouth, Mr. Why, but its a &#039;k lot easier to talk badass online than it is to in real life.  Same goes for this situation.
  Offline, Mr. Why, if you had just realized that your spouses ex has been drinking, as he begins to drive off, would you have the balls to call him out / chase him down / drag him out of the car?  Even if you did, (which I doubt), not many other people do.
  There&#039;s always a &quot;holy shit, I can&#039;t believe this is real&quot; factor that makes you hesitate for just a couple of seconds.  And it looks like that&#039;s what happened here.
  Don&#039;t judge until you have been in the same situation, we&#039;ve all done stupid things that we regret.</description>

		<description>What happened to Demonoid? BRIEN chased them out of Europe, then the CRIA scared them into shutting down, but this time Demonoid don&#039;t seem to be moving. Instead, they&#039;ve started subdemon where people are allowed to chat about anything but filesharing. They said this is to &quot;keep the community together.&quot; Unless they plan on restarting Demonoid, don&#039;t bother.</description>

I don&#039;t agree with drinking and driving, but your just as much an ass as he was. Lets say he got in a wreck, and the drinking was proven to be the true cause(Which in most cases it gets the blame, but more often than not, it&#039;s something else that really caused it). You should be held just as responsible for the injuries the kids may have suffered in said crash, because you knowingly allowed them to be carted off by the alleged drunk driver. That alone made you no better than him.

Then to call and narc him out?! Don&#039;t you realize their is nothing worse in this world than a tattle tale? A truely responsible adult would have taken the keys, drove him and the kids home, and not let him out on the road to begine with. If he didn&#039;t agree to that, then you should have removed the children from the vehicle, and told him to fugg off.

I would say in this case, that the police had better things to do than deal with parents who can&#039;t be competent enough in that situation to begine with. Every single one of you were at fault.</description>

		<description>Oh and incidentally, to set up a foundation (like BREIN) in holland all you have to do is go to an office from the government and pay like $80 for a paper and wham you are a foundation, there&#039;s no questions asked apart from an ID.
So I could go out and start &#039;stichting superbrein&#039; and start pressuring people into giving me money and threatening sites as if I were some official, all the while keeping my administration secret and just pretend to support artists.
And that would be a 1:1 copy then.</description>

		<description>The &#039;brein&#039; foundation has only one goal, to get more money for themselves, there have been investigation and questions asked about how they sit on information about their finances, how their director pays himself insane amounts, how they force artist to sign up and pay a few grand for the privilege and how they get nothing much in return.
Their actions are meant to get american sponsor money into their organization I&#039;m sure, that then will disappear into their pockets.
They are more shifty than the MPAA/RIAA, and possibly even more than mediadefender..</description>

		<description>The primary reason hit and run is such a problem is because people &quot;with a brain&quot; (as #11 put it) have heard of jimmy getting slapped with these ridiculous fines, and don&#039;t want to receive that themselves. 

Private Trackers are great, if you can get in. I&#039;m a member in two and find it absolutely great. I wish I could find one that wasn&#039;t music oriented though :/. 

Public Trackers tend to be slower, and have many &quot;dead&quot; torrents and a lot of fakes, however, with Demonoid, I didn&#039;t have to wait for the file(s) I was looking for to pop-up. They were burried in the masses. Sure, it took some digging and some effort, but it paid off.

One last thing, this whole &quot;quality&quot; focus is kind of annoying. Sure, I don&#039;t want to download some 64KB/s GoogTube rip, but these FLAC files ranging from 500MB to 1GB are ridiculous.  I&#039;m perfectly happy with a 192KB/s-320KB/s MP3 but anything beyond that is too much space for too little quality improvement. Why use 1TB of space when I can use 300GB for slightly less quality. It&#039;s good I suppose, to encourage the whole quality thing, but I think its going a bit too far when you have to wait 30min-1hour for an album to download, and after a few days of browsing you realize you&#039;re out of HD space, kinda ridiculous.</description>

		<description>Haha those tactics are low, they are using blackmail and mafia-esque tactics to bully the isps into booting the torrent sites off, because they know they have no chance if they take on the sites and their admin themselves. This is highly illegal, if the relevant authorities knew about this BREIN wouldn&#039;t exist. Those of you who live in the Netherlands, let your government and consumer protection agencies know what these criminals are doing, shut them down once and for all.</description>

		<description>mininova is the best public tracker out right now. while i know many enthusiasts are going nuts for private trackers. i&#039;d argue they do more damage than good. look at indietorrents for example; it&#039;s almost impossible to get into unless you&#039;re deep in the scene and even then it&#039;s hard. if you&#039;re there for leeching then it&#039;s all good but if you are really into the music and just want to pick up rare gems, you&#039;re out of luck because the music is locked away inside these private communities.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;233170&quot;]You can blame BREIN for all those actions, but why not blame ourselves for not doing anything ...

Flaming on blogs won&#039;t help&#039;,
Take action ![/quote]
I agree, in fact I&#039;ve taken it upon myself to host several trackers upon my web root hosting server infrastructure. For those who don&#039;t understand, I&#039;ve basically have a huge server that&#039;s faster than your computer x10 combined on a gigabit fiber optic connection. Anyone who connects to my server while I&#039;m seeding stuff can expect a down speed of about 1Mbs if their connection can handle it. ;)
This of course isn&#039;t the main function of the server; just a little side job so it has something else to do with all that extra power.</description>

The Geneva Conventions must be followed, any leader who disobeys the Geneva Conventions must get the Death Penalty under treason or else Americas government will f**k us all and rape our wives. Stop!

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;233224&quot;]Hey I have an idea:

Why doesn&#039;t some torrent site make a successful case againt Brein, RIAA or what ever and then use that case in future problems?

Beat them in they own game![/quote]

Don&#039;t forget, you are talking to amateurs with lower- and middle-class income and education; as smart and passionate as we may be, we do not have the same resources the mafIAA does.</description>

way to preach to the converted.  this is torrentfreak not fucking myspace.[/quote]

I strongly disagree!  Many, many people (inc. &quot;noobs&quot;) come here, and have no idea why the rest of the online shadow world is not as open as the public torrent sites.

This guy did a great job explaining what the situation is, and why it is;  as opposed to the typical flame against the ignorant, this guy gave them education in a polite, friendly, but firm manner.

  Please, do not make the common mistake of confusing ignorance/knowledge/education with intelligence.  They are two _very_ different concepts.</description>

CaptainHack, the MPAA is responsible for ratings (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) but there is no law that a movie has to be rated. There are many unrated movies.

You could go to the extreme of only supporting unrated movies, but it would not take this much to cripple the MPAA. They don&#039;t get royalties on movies that they merely rate. With ratings as their main, or only, revenue source, the MPAA would be a shadow of what they are now.

In other words: support indie movies, rated or not.</description>

		<description>as long as you ppl DESIRE the things the mpaa/riaa have, you lose.

    the reality is, YOUR WANTING what they have (or what they control) you will never win.

    so STOP WANTING anything related to the mpaa/riaa/bsa/whoever.. their movies, music, software, whatever.

    until then, you are all at their mercy.

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;233126&quot;]Last week my wife and I dropped the kids off in the local mall&#039;s parking lot and there we waited for their natural father to show up for there weekend visit.  We handed the kids over, they got in the car, and it wasn&#039;t until AFTER they were all back in his SUV did I realize he must have been drinking (maybe a 6-pack or so) and noticed empties in the SUV on the floor.  He drove off after a little discussion so I called the cops, they did nothing.  I called the cops in the next county over, they did NOTHING.  So let me get this correct, The police forces of this world are more interested in protecting movie publishers and cracking down on little Bobby getting his next MP3 song to walk to school with than to stop a drunk driver with open containers and kids in the back?  Hard to respect any police agency that puts this much effort into a so called crime when in many countries it is legal so long as you do not make a profit off downloading.  Get back to real crime fighting and stop lobbying to make things a crime when they are not in some countries and shouldn&#039;t be in the others.[/quote]

Dude i totally agree with you.

Fucking shitheads like Brein need to get a life and they gotta stop fucking trying to spend their shit ass life making pathetic fucking attempts to fucking shut down torrent sites when stuff like homicides and kidnapping and arsons are happening all over the fucking place.</description>

		<description>Pathetic!!!
BREIN(dead) did not triumph over the torrent sites - they just threatened ONE isp, which pissed its pants!!!

  Hello?  How does this count as a legal victory?  They didn&#039;t even meet their target in court!

  The weakness in that country, the weak link if you will, is neither the government nor the law; it is the COWARDLY ISPs!!!

  And the solution is not to run and hide, but rather to find an ISP that has balls, and give them money!</description>

Umm yeah. Read some more about what the MPAA does. They rate the movies, and pretty much tell producers what is and what is not allowed. You can&#039;t get rid of the MPAA, but it would be nice to have individuals working there that actually gave a rats ass about developing law to limit the amount of dvd&#039;s and got their nose in to advocate for lower pricing. Seriously, how many people here want to spend 80 bucks for three not even half ass decent movies on blue ray?</description>

		<description>I hope miniNova is taking precautions cos in this world it is might that&#039;s right and it is the organised that get things done.  

It is public tracker sites that have made BT popular but they are the protocols main weakness.  

I think newer protocol like dargens anonymous bit torrent is both public and safe see www.dargens.com .  

Personally, I prefer public trackers as although private are more secure they play into the hands fo the RIAA.  Private to some people point to conspiracies.</description>

		<description>I have a view on torrents that is probably somewhat the view of others. When I go to a friends house to watch a movie I don&#039;t get arrested. When I download a movie from a peer in my torrent friend community I believe its the same thing. They might want to actually read the letter of the law, which is very undefined at this point. Then again they want to arrest us for governing the mpaa. Thats right, we are the actual governing body of the MPAA cause we decide what is good and what is not. I believe we sceners and downloaders are better movie critics than those fogies at the mpaa. You know, I would not mind spending a bit more money a month outside of my newsgroups for mininova and such. Just to shut their greedy mouths, so they can publish three copies of the same dvd, and charge twice as much for anniversary editions while using memorex cheap ass dvd&#039;s to publish them on. What a bunch of losers.</description>

		<description>don&#039;t they see the pattern emerging here? if they take down one site (especially a big one ie mininova) new sites pop up. and often not only one, but multiple! makes it even harder for them to &quot;stop&quot; whatever &quot;illegal&quot; torrent linking these sites do. but then again, maybe that&#039;s the point. more work for them, more money from the industry.

to hell with it all.</description>

Keep in mind... other then the US... Downloading isn&#039;t illegal.  Its uploading 100% of the torrent that is illegal.  Bring to mind that anyone with less then 100% has just a load of metadata that makes nothing.</description>
