Another one bites the dust...

[SuperDavidGT]

Pwned

[Chimera[NL]]

Yay for newsgroups and closed circuit torrent sites.

[tisl]

FBI suck at picking colors.

[Hobbes874]

Foolish FBI, trying to keep piracy from happening is like trying to keep the sun from rising.

[Chimera[NL]]

FBI? The FBI is on this? You must be joking? A billion dollar federal investigating agency is used to track down piracy?

[dimsum411]

Believe it, along with the MPAA and ICE (la migra), and believe it or not... Homeland security. They even uploaded a video on how they "infiltrated/cracked" down on the site, it was an open registration system for god's sake.

Way to get those file-sharorrists!

I'll bet 20 more torrent sites will be made this week.

[Hitman]

HAHA they got so 0wned.. it's not even like other sites where the user took it down, they got plastered.

[NiteX]

Never used that place anyway.

They've won....indirectly. The sun doesn't rise, we rotate :rolleyes:.

[Striker]

Those colors suck ass.

[Bhazard]

Just goes to show that the FBI is just a bunch of fat guys who love McDonalds.

[Striker]

I'm a fat guy who loves McDonalds, does that mean I'm in the FBI?

[Digital Pimp]

Fucking pisses me off they are doing all this shit when we got groups in our own fucking country who wanna blow up buildings and wanna kill as many innocents as possible. Get your fucking priorities straight, show concern for the common people, not the fucking movie stars and music artists who say their lives are being torn apart, learn some fiscal responsibility for god sake and quit waiting for that next rpoyalty check to cover your new ferrari and 10 mill beach house in the hamptons. Really shows who the Government wants to protect lying SOBs.

[Chimera[NL]]

Operation D-Elite OMG! Hahaha that has to be the lamest joke ever.

Anyway, let them have their fun. The more heads they cut off, the more will return. It's like their war on drugs, they'll never win.

piracy rules!

[DCR]

i just use torrent reactor

[burnart]

The reason why they use so much time and money on piracy is that the corporations is "loosing" money on what we download, since usa is ruled by corporations, the goverment use as much resources as they do on it. Dont get me wrong, its not only usa thats ruled by them, its the world. In Sweden they just have passed a bill on tax on emty cd's and dvd's. Here in Norway we soon get a new piracy law...we dont even get to copy songs to our mp3 player (not passed yet luckily). Look at the DRM thingy...have u read what its about? And the ultimate example; Bush have just passed a bill that gives a maximum of 10 years! in jail for distibtution of movies before the release date.
Thats kind of overdoing it.

You all should see a documentary thats called The Corporation.

Edit: Kind of ironic to think about that George Lucas initially did hes best to avoid the corporations from interferring with his films, now he's the leader of a major corporation taking down several communities...

[amirin]

they dont 'lose' money to piracy, they just got fewer..

[cr3am]

I hate when they give numbers for how much they lose based on internet piracy... as if everyone who downloads a certain movie would have seen that piece of shit. I know that a buttload of people downloaded The Pacifier on EliteTorrents, but it's safe to say that less than ten would've have seen it.

[LynX]

The figures they give are pure bullshit. Just remove 99% out of whatever figures they give and it would be nearer the true estimate.

Oh yeah btw,

FBI=MPAA's Bitch.

[Chimera[NL]]

Man, it's amazing what people will do when it comes down to money. They'll never get mine as long as they have the nerve to ask 30 bucks for a CD containing 10 songs. Or 60 bucks for a game.

[RAY16]

I find it funny that they are complaining about Episode 3 being pirated even though it had the biggest box office opening in history.
