If you wanted to, you could easily set up a torrent site, then ask for donations to keep it running, then bugger off when you get your donations.

I don’t understand why people think that idea that an artist wants money for their work somehow makes them evil. You would too, if it was your work.

“so they did a money drive, and closed shortly after that… i wonder if they refund the donations that where not needed. oh wait, i don’t.”
—————

you mean, like how the pirate bay took a bunch of donations for that island they were going to buy and then (surprise!) never did, and then (surprise!) never returned a dime?

kinda like that?

all of the torrent trackers are shutting down really fast without notice now that the guys from the pirate bay have lost their case. I guess no one wants to go through all of the hell and expenses of federal court. The Pirate Bay drew way too much negative attention to bittorrent so now bittorrent is getting a bad name.

Thats what happens when you try to take these underground downloading applications mainstream without securing rights or permission from copyright holders. It will be way too expensive and risky for anyone to run trackers or bitt sites.

It went down same time as mininova started filtering torrents. Last thing I got from FeedMyTorrents was the TXT files that EZTV post on mininova. IT’s a shame really. I had a great setup for a couple of months there..

RSS feeds by themselves aren’t illegal, but their usage in this particular case is. They were feeding the piracy machine.

@18:

I tried to post the links but they don’t appear so what is left to do is tell you where I found the news.

Zeropaid and Arstechnica both have articles and the “lemonde.fr” also on the link of the arstechnica there is another link showing the U.S. version called “Computer & Internet Protocol Address Verifier” (CIPAV) that is already in use.
