Harsh! Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Quote (FD) Hello all, To keep this forum alive the admin have decided that we will be removing all torrent related sections immediately. SFD Hosting is now just the host of these forums and nothing else to do with suprnova, as part of our AUP we do not allow links to P2P programs be they t0rrent or otherwise, anybody breaching these rules will be immediately banned for life. This goes for linking to torrent sites as well. We understand that this may alarm people but in order to preserve this community we must practice this isolationism at least for the time being. Thank you for your patience. End Quote (FD) Found this in the Suprnova Forums under announcements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xplatinum Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 The Google.Torrent trick kinda suck to be honest. I admit it's a nice trick, but 1) the torrent can easily be down [and] 2) What am I gonna do with 4gb file connected to 2seeds ? That's what made suprnova and torrentbits so awesome, it's the fact that they had a huge amount of seeders. no seeds = crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galbi Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Actually this will cause a huge decline in software sales. Many many people download software first to try it out to make sure it is worth the price tag, after they find that it is...they go buy it. I have done this dozens of times. Why should I pay for something before I even know if its worth the money. Would you buy a car without test driving it? or buy a TV for $500 before even seeing what it looks like, the sound and how good the picture quality is? Hell no, so why should we have to pay for our software first? 585129025[/snapback] Hogwash. If a company does not provide demo software then you call them a crap company and look for another solution from a company with better business practices.

IanD Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Well i guess suprnova was used for a.... ..purpose. I meen bittorent can be used for legitimate purposes (linux distros, MSDN librarys, open source software etc..) but suprnova was for the other side of bt; the pirate side. I dont like seeing anyone get busted but im not TRULY effected by this. Goodluck to the owners of SN and to the server company which hosted it :/.

StuRReaL Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I know alot of people are going to flame me for this one, but illegal software isn't all bad, to be honest the big money is in companies buying lots of licences for industry standard software. As we all know industry standard software is expensive, even a student licence is expensive. Now to get jobs we need to know how to use software like Photoshop, maya, max, xsi, visual studio etc... but how is this possible without lots of ???????? well its not, so illegal copies are the way to get better, i mean its no worse than downloading a fully working trial peice of software and then formatting and reinstalling after 30days, then when u have your good job thanks to the software u obtained then you buy it, simple. Now i know some people never buy the software but i think thats the minority, but filesharing has actually helped the music industry, (who actually started as theives anyway back in the ye ol;) days ;) ) I mean how else do you find new music or get albums no longer for sale!!!! I must have about 10 albums you can no longer buy fortunatly I own them on CD but if it was to get damaged somehow its irriplaceable so i'd see if i can download i:)again :) I think if this continues there will be a shortage of skills in certain things, there will be a decine in lots of things people are gonna really have there backs up about this and rightly so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudleone Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 i am curious to see what the next best thing since sliced bread will be. i am of the opinion suprnova was a benifit in more ways than one to people and the whole internet community.
