Another BitTorrent site goes bye-bye


Recommended Posts

God MPAA are such money hungry sluts.  Is it not enough that they make 500 million with every movie?  Greedy ******s want to take all of people's money.  People like that should be shot right at the point blank spot.  I mean come on, actors are earning lots of money and are overpaid for what they do, so I dont see why this is a big deal.  Actors earn 10-50 million per movie,  which is more than enough.  Same goes for the companies.

Greedy ******s.

:rolleyes: Yeah, you can steal whatever you want from the rich.

this is off topic, but I love the legal letters that piratebay posts:

Another one says:"I'm currently low on toilet paper, so please send lots of legal documents to our ISP." :rofl:

a very sad reply...boo hoo hoo why should i care about them cause they dont care about me..cry me a river, thats no reason to do it  (or a good reason ever)

come on stealing is stealing, from big wigs to small frys. Is it bad to DL programs, but ok for movies or any other media?, going into the store and taking it is stealing but DL'ing it is not? Dont say your helping to change the way for a bright future where prices are low, your no robin hood.

Going to the store and taking it is stealing because you are depriving that company of the product to sell and the profit from it. If I download something that I wouldn't have bought in the first place, it's not stealing. No one loses any product (it is a digital copy of said thing, no one is deprived of it because I downloaded it), and no one loses any money because I would not have payed for it anyway. Getting something for free isn't always stealing. I don't know why it's so hard for some people to understand that.

About loki, not surprising at all. Did anyone really think he was going to use that money for legal defense? The site wasn't all that good anyway, there are several others that are much better IMO.

It was so obvious that the donation money was just a clever trick by lowkee to get a load of free money.

I can't believe some people fell for it and actually donated.

That's what I would have done. Sorry, but his intentions were probably true. He had enough money if he was ever boned by the courts, that he could pay them off / or pay for bail. Just covering his own back.

I never used LokiTorrent my self, just mini and btefnet. But, yeah. Sad to see it goes, It will be interesting to see what happens this year regarding the BT network. I think it'll survive, if not. Expect suicides, of course. I'm joking.

Haha, it's so true. Stupid MPAA.

Sheesh, glad I don't download movies. Those server logs could really do alot of people in.

-People who donated they have your personal info instantly, although is that really lawsuit worthy alone?

-People with logins, I don't see them doing anything for that alone

-People who visited the site, who cares, nothing illegal there

-People who uploaded alot of movies are probably in the most danger.

-Do trackers have logs? That would show the IPs that leeched/seeded certain torrents etc?

I just can't imagine they're going to sue millions upon millions of people, probably just the worst offenders

Wow... the site gets shut down and people immediately start accusing the guy of stealing the money. Well, that might indeed turn out to be the case, BUT it is too soon to tell and you are all talking out your behinds - no-one knows yet.

I agree ... I was a moderator on Lokitorrent and personally don't give a crap about them getting my info .. I have nothing for them to take from me so ...

I believe that Lowkee has only closed the site down while he's fighting them in the trial , people are saying he took the money and ran , if that was the case then why is there even a trial? He's obviously paying for it. The only bad thing is that by having the site closed down it means that Lowkee can't make more money to pay for lawyers from donations and the MPAA probably already knows this.

I still satnd behind Lowkee and the site 110% and have done since day 1.

Screw the MPAA , they're just money grabbing ball suckers who can't possibly respect themselves as human beings.

Checkout the below topic on exeem

exeem

    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
