bittorent, suprnova's gone Options

[lanbexx]

hey, have people heard how suprnova and other sites got closed down by the RIAA? what do u think about it?

[comeupon]

Yep owners arrested and servers seized, however small torrents forums will be unaffected since most of the servers are outside the US, mostly in Germany and Sweden. I've been waiting for it to happen for a while, there are some rumors that Fat Wreck and a couple other labels finally wrote up a report and submitted it, its a shame though 2 of my favorite torrent forums have to close for a while until they move the server or this gets beaten, which it may be since torrents are usually someone sharing their OWN cd/movie/cartoon whatever. Theres not a lot of Pirate torrents. Sharing is still legal, providing its the original item being shared and its not for money. The RIAA can have a harder time with this then they planned.

Edit: Suprnova was shut down, while the owner did say he shut it down it was because the RIAA told them team to either surrender the server or face legal action, they chose to surrender the servers. That is the info we in the BT world have been recieving, which is not always correct.
