 Lokitorrents is now being sued by the MPAA. yet another setback to the BT world The news on loki-torrents is raising $30,000 US to go to court to save P2P. $9940 has been raised so far to help the cause. [Dec 29th, 2004 - 8:50MP] Message writes: QUOTE Every penny of this fund will be going towards legal and other costs associated with saving peer-to-peer as a whole. This may sound like a lot of money, but legal fees are VERY expensive, and $30,000 is the minimum required.

They will not win in court.
 If they did, in some magical way, going after users comes next.Saving P2P is not what this is about, it's about stopping people have pirating content. Get a site going offering/hosting/collecting/archiving/listing legal torrents and it will have no problem.  to the MPAA, IMO. Stoping pirates to a key to the future of online media distrobution with fair rights to both the consumer and the studios.

They'll never stop file sharing. No matter how many people that they sue.
One thing, BT is a great file distrubution tool, negating the need for high bandwidth centralised servers, so I hope that if the worst happens, that at the very least BT will survive. |
