Are the ISP's trying to censor the internet like Communist China? TO dictate what a website can and cannot host or display, that should be illegal. If things don't change, a select few massive corporations will be gain control of everything and prices will skyrocket..... anyone wonder why gas prices are 5.50$++++??? All I have to say is that IsoHunt rocks and needs to keep fighting!!! And that whoever their service provider is sucks crusty balls and needs to go fuck their mothers. This is getting bad….

This has happened before and will continue to happen. We have seen the disapearance or transformation of many P2P's and survived them all. Give it a few days and either isohunt or someone else will be there for you. The corps cannot win, this is too big. Relax folks. This has happened before and will continue to happen.

Maybe looking into it seriously wouldn't be the worst idea. The Sealand cost is I think $950,000,000 so an outright purchase seems out of the question. Cuba? Or even lower where Chaves rules. He doesn't like the U.S. Government. Sealand has leased space to one cybercompany with no problems. Maybe looking into it seriously wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Saying what isohunt did or didn't have knowledge of something is conjecture. Does google know people use their service for illegal ends? What about paypal? Maybe, but it can't be proven. Do ISP's know that their newsgroups host illegal files? Does sony know people used tape recorders to copy movies? We can go on. A tracker is a gray area of the law and certainly not one to be interpreted by an ISP. Let the MPAA litigation run it's due course. Mikey, mikey, mikey.

It would be difficult to find anything on that site that was not infringing someone's copyright. Isohunt is 100% liable for contributory infringement as (again) outlined in the law of most non-3rd -world countries. Isohunt also receives a direct financial benefit which is directly attributable to their illegal activity (ad revenue, affiliates, donations, etc). They probably also fall foul of the grokster (inducement) ruling. Alas, if only 3rd world countries had cheap broadband and hosting!

And that means that they are just simply hosting links, doing nothing illegal? I don't think so. A few of you morons should look up the law (present in most non-3rd world countries) regarding secondary infringement as well. Isohunt is also a tracker.
