The FBI has announced that it has shut down the P2P network Elitetorrents.org. The Bureau said that the website was the source of recent pirated copies of the new Star Wars movie `Revenge of the Sith` which was leaked onto the Internet even before the film was released.

Even in Canada? Fuck....



Anyway, there's the answer, why scene groups name their rels "deity-aop13" and so on... I mean if that gestapo just monitors the filenames, they probably just react to "[latest movie's title].DVDRip" and a different name would give them shit (anyway, maybe they should be aware, that ed2k link isn't an URL ). And how the fuck do they know that what you're downloading under that name is exactly what it says? An ecrypter would probably be enough, though next thing you know, they might be demanding an access to your HDD, because "you might be enfringing copyrights"! This really is a fucking land of the free..... (sorry for cursing, I'm just really pissed off)

When it comes down to the whole P2P debate I ask myself what the hell am I paying $44.95 (CDN)/month for high speed DSL? To check my email? To surf for porn for a 1/2 hour day? etc.

Seriously, why does the home user need broadband speed for if all we are allowed to do is surf the web, chat on irc, and send email? Makes those fat pipes look kinda useless to me.
