Have you heard about The Pirate Bay? Options

[mipadi]

Four of the guys behind the The Pirate Bay, the largest torrent tracker in the world, were found guilty of being "accessories to copyright infringement", and sentenced to 1 year in jail and a $3.56 million fine. There are a lot of subtleties in this case. For example, The Pirate Bay's servers only enabled people to share copyrighted files; no copyrighted material actually passed through the servers. Does merely enabling the distribution of copyright materials make a server administrator an "accessory to copyright infringement"? Are copyright laws becoming outdated? Is this an example of a court bowing to corporate pressure over the good of society, or is sharing music and movies inherently immoral?

a) you're infinitely less likely to get caught downloading from a private tracker
b) most everything tends to be consistently seeded because you have to maintain a ratio (also means better seeding to leeching ratio)
c) quality of torrents is highly regulated
d) everything downloads a hell of a lot faster

etc etc etc

Once you learn that there's better things out there, you'd never even dream of going back to something TPB. Christ, just using Demonoid makes me unhappy.
