At the end of the day, it all boils down to were your hosting the site. Thats the only reason Mininova and ThePirateBay are still going. Quite obviously TorrentValley should choosen there hosting country more wisely

This is just another reason to recognize possession as the evil it is, and make it the next revolution after violence and killing.

Oh, and everything I like to watch, is free. Everything I like to listen to is also free. And not free as in I can download it for free.

@36 Justice is blind refers to the entire policing process. For example, say I am a police officer and someone very close to me is murdered/robbed/whatever. I will not be part of the investigation team because I have a personal attachment to the investigation: I wanna find the bastard that did it. So its likely that I’ll think most, if not any suspect is guilty right away and my judgement would be clouded. Hell I might even tamper with evidence if I was certain enough that someone did it. Clear example of this is in cases of vigilante justice. A little while ago I think there was a case in which someone was murdered on a trail. The people of the town freaked out, went after someone that was near the area at the time, and I believe it ended in that person getting murdered. But they don’t know if that person did it. You see how personal feelings can cloud things in an investigation?

Here, the entire investigation was handled by the music industry, who has a personal stake in the investigation. They are certain torrent sites are taking billions from them (something that may or may not be true). And since every bit of information about the torrent sites came from them, they can easily mess with the information to make it seem worse than it is.

@43 You’re an idiot. Child porn is illegal. Having child porn is illegal. Therefore sharing child porn is illegal, and downloading child porn is illegal. It’s not JUST information, it’s illegal information.
Watching movies is not illegal. Having movies in your posession is not illegal. Making a copy of a movie and selling it for profit is illegal. Giving a song to a friend for free? Don’t believe that’s illegal, but I bet you’ll think otherwise. If anything, sharing music allows everyone to hear the music, which allows more people to figure out if they want to buy it. I don’t buy CD’s until I know I like every single song in there. If I like 1/12 of the tracks on there, why am I going to dish out $20 for it?

@43

“Nope, your so wrong. By your reasoning child porn should be able to be shared: after all, it’s only information right?”

How am I wrong? Did you read the part you quoted about the majority of people accepting those who casually download?

The majority of people in EVERY country does not accept downloading kiddie porn. Besides if that’s the only argument to the statement it’s a fairly weak one.

I still stand by my statement.

It seems that Bulgarian authorities can’t find evidences on their own. And they beg civil organizations to do authorities work and to provide fabricated evidences. Or in other words it seems like civil organizations order authorities what to do maybe civil authorities paying their salary.

This is a jaw-dropping, insanity-causing turn of events. —BULGARIA— doesn’t want Free World-wide Publicity for its MUSIC INDUSTRY!? Before this story broke, would one in a billion non-Bulgarians know there WAS a BULGARIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY!? They couldn’t BUY publicity like this. They’re getting the ONLY AVENUE OF PUBLICITY THAT THE BULGARIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY HAS EVER KNOWN -SHUT- -DOWN- !?

The world has finally gone nuts. I’m glad I was there to see it. Maybe Indiana Whoever can move to Bulgaria.

I see the industry shills are in attendance tonight.

To IFPI, Davenport-Lyons, RIAA, MPAA, BPI, and the rest of you douchebags…..

How long do you think you can keep harassing and pushing before people push back and push back hard?

Before you have to pay a personal price for your actions?

Just something to think about.
