		<description>the way i look at it is.. if they dont want people cracking there programes then they should make the darn things so we carnt crack them.
if they dont want us to use p2p then why dont they creat something to stop it dead.
Now yes its posible to do his and they have all the money in the world to but reason why they havent done it is cos they are tight fookers that dont wanna pay.
I bet bush sits there downloading music,films, i bet the cops do. i bet most of the fookers do but are to stupid to admit it.
Look at demonoi there doomed, they would have to start all over again, they need new domain name and a fresh install of there tracker and start members over again, its the only way for them.
The admin will run out of funds to keep moving demonoid to diffrent servers.
At end of the day if these goverments dont want us doing what we are doing then they should stop it, if they think they can then do it. they are only concerned cos its gonna cost to much money and they dont wanna pay out.
Well give up then and stop trying to bug us into giving up on what we are doing.
We will stand for our rights and always do what we are doing in warzz/torrents world no matter what you say.
Me personaly dont care what you do, i pay my taxses and i work my azzz off..
I have my own torrent site and me running it doesnt break any law. i dont personaly copywrite anything
i dont sell any of it. 
Get your facts right, torrents sites dont even have the freaking movies,music,appz on the servers at all.
All we have is a id file to the torrent.
Learn trackers before passing the buck on us.</description>

		<description>plz nobody confuse warez with p2p

sharing a file on a social networking site is not warez

preparation and dealing of warez has always been a criminal action</description>

Former Leader of Mage Sentenced to 12 Months
Linux Electrons &#124; 05 Nov 2007 (12:06 AM) GMT &#124; Ipggi &#124; 10 clicks
Justin Emch, 27 of Kenmore, Washington has been sentenced to 12 months prison on one felony count of conspiracy to infringe on copyright. He has also been ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and serve two years of a supervised release.

Emch was one of many scene members netted in the April 2004 worldwide bust known as Operation Fastlink. His group Mage was a minor player in the underground application ISO scene who continued to release for over a year after his arrest.

Incidentally Mage used to include a generic disclaimer in the NFO file of their releases. It would state that the release is copyrighted, and that the warez release was only allowed to be used as a personal backup or archive. This type of disclaimer was quite common in the old BBS pirate scene days during the early 1990s. Obviously disclaimers are nothing more than wasted space.

MaGE LEGAL DISCLAIMER; It is against the law to reproduce copyrighted material for the purpose of selling it to third parties. US Law only allows for you to make one backup copy of any software or media for personal and archival purposes, which is the ONLY intended use for this software. This program is not meant for those who intend on breaking copyright laws. In no way will we be held responsible if you do. Any other use of this software is strictly prohibited.
