i think he says that because piratebay has had loads of threats by loads of companies, but because they're located in sweden they can't be touched.

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, STOP BUYING MUSIC. STOP GOING TO MOVIE THEATERS. FIGHT THE MPAA AND RIAA. THEIR TATICS ARE ILLEGAL. FIGHT THEM WITH A BOYCOTT.

That's exactly the wrong way to go about it: the answer is stop buying and dowload MORE! :rofl:

suprnova never had a courtcase. they chose to shutdown. many believed they were going to shut down anyway, and just used torrentbits and others closing down as an excuse to bring out exeem.

but suprnova were never threatened.

Yes but suprnova was a gateway, I think that's a good way to put it. It had abunch of torrents hosted on many trackers which made it very easy. And to me Exeem seems like a even easier way for them to crack down on people.

A better example...

Suprnova is/was the MTV and the trackers were the band. With heavy air/warez time the trackers would/have become more noticed and now many people us them.

Dont you guys ever think of the people who help make movies, not the big wigs but the little people under them?

You see the Times today where they reported that "musicians can't survive on royalties." There is no trickle down. It all goes right into the company's pocket, and the little guys are lucky to have a job.

Not really a surprise, they will get to all of them sooner or later. I'm waiting for PirateBay to get threatened to be really worried. :D

They've been threatened by Microsoft, and many other major corporations. And the funny thing is they write back in a rather funny way.

Yeah, but if it's anything like their music industry they typically either love that their work is being seen, or no longer get royalties for the piece. Of course there are exceptions, but that's true for everything. The big wigs are the big wigs because they get most of the money.

yeah piratebay is my last hope. if it lives everything is ok. if not - bittorrent is going down.

btw, i wonder $45'000+ lokitorrent collected in lawyer fees - is it going to be put in the pocket by the owners just like many thousands in donations?

that would be the easy solution. comply with judge and save on lawyer fees

Dude people like you and everyone talking about bittorrent needs to shut the **** up. Expecially you, oh yeah atleast "insert site address here" is still around. Good job retard, you just obviosly helped them out... The MPAA and the dirty ****tarts sueing.

585447850[/snapback]

Being the world's largest torrent tracker, I'm pretty sure MPAA are fully aware of the site. So it should also be high on their "sites to shut down" list, but since there haven't even been any signs of that yet I think with the current laws here, they have a hard time doing anything. Seems like the operators are also quite confident in that. :) However, laws change, and the only time I can say they're safe is the coming few months. Who knows what'll happen in the future.

One more thing; the reason it's like this in Sweden is because we have a former case were a company lost a case against a BBS (Bulletin Board System) who put up warez links. Since they didn't actually have the data but only provided references, it was not ruled as illegal. So the difference here than in other countries where the laws are blurred in this area, we have a former case to rest on, and MPAA are probably not stupid and realize this. If they'd do anything right now they'd take the risk of losing and that would be major bad news for MPAA.

wow, i knew she'd go down eventually, but not like this! they noticed no more money was coming into lokitorrents, and i guess just said screw it, were OUTTA HERE! unforchanitely, $30,000 wont get you very far in life. he sold his soul for $30,000 and forever will that be in inbeded into his mind.

as for suprnova and loki going, i think it's time that we all give exeem another shot :p

Theres lots of good bittorrent sites left, heck even Suprnova mirrors.

I KNEW this would happen. Why would they even want to TRY and fight in court? And how would anybody know if they really did? Easy enough for them to get a fistful of cash, and then wait til the moneyflow slowed as it has in the past weeks, and then just comply with the court and say they had to be shut down with no other choice.

I knew it allll along... I can't believe people actually donated.

Now the rebellion... what will happen now? Murder? :p haha

    • Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion by David Uzondu Image via DepositPhotos.com Salesforce today announced that it has reached an agreement with customer support software company Fin to buy the company for around $3.6 billion. Salesforce expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2027, and the acquisition will not change its financial guidance previously announced on May 27. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, in its press release, claimed that acquiring the startup gives Salesforce an immediate AI agent that resolves support tickets across email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Slack: You might know Fin by its former name, Intercom. If you have ever been on a website or inside a mobile app and noticed a little chat bubble widget floating in the bottom right corner of your screen, often featuring a friendly face and a message like, "Hi! How can we help you today?" you were almost certainly looking at Intercom. Intercom became Fin just last month, transforming itself into an "AI-first" platform that handles customer issues with little need for humans to intervene. The new name originates from the company's highly successful AI customer service agent, which it launched way back in 2023. This digital assistant supposedly resolves about 76% of customer service volume end-to-end on its own, so the business rebranded to match its primary software tool. Fin's new owners, Salesforce, went on an acquisition spree over the last few years, and some of them you might recognize, like its 2020 $27.7 Billion acquisition of Slack. The last few months saw the enterprise giant buy several startups, including m3ter, Momentum, Cimulate, and Contentful. Salesforce said that when the Fin deal pulls through, customers will "deploy AI agents across" various service operations, which will complement Agentforce, the platform that enables businesses to deploy customizable autonomous digital workers.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.
