"If it's not on NFOrce then forget it!"
Where does that message mention anything about the type of content being downloaded.
Almost all private trackers that I've seen require all uploaded files to be "genuine scene releases", that is, to have an entry on NFOrce.nl, a site that tracks release notices (.nfo) published by several secretive warez groups. Google lists them. Given that I couldn't find any way to get a Free work's release notice onto NFOrce, I don't see any substantial non-infringing use of most private trackers.

Re:Torrents can be bogus too.
Re Timing: Use nforce to check what releases have been out by the pirate groups. Then confirm the filenames and size using the nfos that the site provides.

Re:eDonkey
Yes, there's an option in eMule to attach a comment and a rating to a shared file and I don't recall seeing a misuse of that feature, not counting the "friend slot please!" comments. What continues to be succesful is common sense. For important (read popular) releases, reading the files' names and checking them back on nforce works just fine. Another aspect of the ed2k community that keeps it over others is that like torrents, most people gets their ed2k links from known indexing sites. While it's known that those can be shut down by the MPAA/RIAA they still are the true power behind the network. So when a new release comes out, the majority of users are sharing the proper file, acting as a snowball.

Re:The punishment does not fit the crime.
The reason Radius9 isn't affected by piracy is because you (a) write games for a dying platform [GBA], (b) have only one game to your name [Mighty Beanz: Pocket Puzzles], and (c) that game isn't exactly high on people's lists of games to download to their flash carts.
That game of yours was pirated by the GBA release group Rising Sun last year (2004-05-29). The information backing my claim up is here.
Piracy may not have affected you directly, but now that I know I can get your game for free from any number of GBA rom archives, I'll just download it and you won't see a single penny of my money. -
Re:Right.

Re:Give the FBI 27 Terabytes of warez, go to jail.yea, read the same thing, but 27 TB???
My guess is that's the total amount of movies/warez/etc that passed through their server during the 2 years they ran it.
I'm guessing that because the article says "Ultimately, 27 terabytes..."
As for changing things... read the note in this nfo

Tracker?
Want a right-wing site featuring Torrents of content released with the creators' permission? Start your own!
What tracker would take them? A lot of the semi-public trackers, especially those based on old Bytemonsoon code, are shooting themselves in the foot by accepting only releases that have been announced through NForce Entertainment, which accepts only releases that have been announced through the so-called "scene" through some obscure ritual called "preing".

It's the name of the release group that did the capture. You might want to familiarize yourself with NFOs if this makes no sense.

Reliance on NFOrce.nl is a problem
Bittorrent needs to be publicized more for its clearly legal uses.
I've looked into this, but with Suprnova gone, what's a good reliable tracker for general legit distribution? One problem is that a lot of trackers, especially those using the bytemonsoon code, won't take any torrent submission that doesn't have an entry on NFOrce.nl, and the NFOrce FAQ says that it posts only releases by "legit release group[s]", offering no advice to people outside the so-called "scene" other than the cryptic "pre your release and make sure it gets spread
... If this doesn't make sense to you at all? Oh Well. (!)" -
Re:been a Linux-only gamer for 3 years
* I refuse to buy HL2, however, since there's no guarantee that I'll be able to play it in the future, due to the silly forced registration BS.
Christ, if I had a nickel for everyone clamoring about Steam not necessarily existing in the future I'd be rich.
The pirate/cracker community will always have a way around this.
If you bought the game then Valve has your $50 and you should feel no shame for using a crack to avoid talking to Steam servers. The plain fact is that if you know where to look you will ALWAYS find an appropriate crack or patch to avoid all traces of Steam and its ilk.
So if you want to play a game, and support the company that made it, and at the same time feel secure that it will always be installable and playable, then just download the friggin crack and STFU. -

Re:Half-Life 2 for FREE, no warez, no crack
"what kind of retard uploads a png of a text file? *sigh*"
Er, it's a dynamically generated image of a NFO, which often use ASCII art requiring specific types of font to render properly. Link to the text version if it bothers you.
It's not really about buying it for me, it's about the increased load times which come from paging data files out of the gcf's on demand, not to mention the added load time of Steam itself and the desire to have a game that will still be playable after Steam dies. -
Re:Pointless
I believe Valve is concerned with people illegally downloading and activating Half-Life 2 via Steam as outlined here.

Half-Life 2 for FREE, no warez, no crack
I think if this story has any merit, it's simply Valve trying to save face in light of the embarrasing flaw/trick with steam which allows anyone to download and activate HL2 for free. http://www.nforce.nl/nfos/renderer/ls-black.php?i

Re:Even single player requires Steam
" More interesting is what happens in a few years when you dust off the HL2 box to play it again and find that the activation system is no longer online. What then?"
You will have to download the crack. There is already one available that allows people to use the warezed version of CS:Source on the Steam servers. Is this the same authentication system HL2 will be using?

0wnag3?
That's really crazy that folks just walk around so easily. Bungie/MS people keep just whining staring at their leaked game. The warez scene, AFAIK, can be infiltrated, and if they really want to catch their pirates, they should invest themselves in studying the underground movement, instead of crying : ho please get me these mean guys! they're bad bad bad. I will ban you otherwise !
A link or offer to give out a link via private media on the forums will get you banned permanently. The same goes for any kind of leak-related spoiler information. Further, you risk having your XBox Live account's ability to play Halo 2 crippled as we can and will ban gamertags from access to vital parts of Halo 2's online experience.
That's really hypocrite, closing you eyes won't help you.
Here's what those folks have to say. And yes MS is 0wn3d.

Re:McCain-FeingoldI'm not sure about McCain-Feingold but I do know that the reason you don't see any more commercials for the movie is because it violates laws about commercials featuring candidates. (Being that it's a for-profit venture, as opposed to "527's")
I agree with that view somewhat, and so does Moore from what I understand... but the movie (in DVD/DVD-R) form has already hit the Internet's piracy sites (NFO file) and plenty of people are already got it. Moore has stated that he doesn't care about the money when it comes to this movie so 'piracy' is welcome in his eyes
I've got my copy but handing it out would be like preaching to the choir...
Thing is... who would air the film? I'm sure that advertising revenue will make it attractive but I don't think stations will risk the tax break suicide if Bush does get re-elected.

Re:even *BETTER* captures2004 - HDTV capture coming soon to a bittorrent stream near you!!!
You mean like the ones that various TV-rip groups have been releasing at least for about a year and a half now?
A quick search at NFOrce Entertainment returns this as the first "officially" released HDTV rip (unless my search was horribly flawed, which is quite possible), but it seems that onwards from December 2002 the HDTV rips gradually became commonplace.
Anyway, old news

Re:Not a good effort.
it's true. they will never be able to stop orgranized piracy. Even public sites such as:
nforce
vcdquality
mp3hq
grokmusiq
still show groups getting releases out to their affiled sites. For every ftp site they take down 2 more spring up. As well any kid that can scrape together 100 bux a month can colo a box at EV1, managed, or FDC and run a site.
what the feds need, is to arrest werner_T and shutdown dupecheck.... my 2 cents..

Fairlight Farewellfrom flt-ff.nfo
It has been a good few years, but it is now time for Fairlight to close its doors for good. Many reasons have made us come to this judgement but we feel it is for the best. The scene is getting to be a dangerous place. Not only do we have to fear from the feds but also the unhonorable ones in the scene who lower themselves to narq the competition. Retiring on top seems to be the best decision for us. We want to thank all those throughout the years who have helped us in one way or another.
/Team FairLightI guess they didn't follow their own advice. It seems Fairlight reactivated 2 months after that message, possibly under new management or because whatever FBI sweep was going on at the time was over.

Re:strange
Yes, it does make a difference.
Since you are not part of the so called scene I
will explain it to you. These people do it for
the adrealine rush of
1. cracking great protection
Ha, this company payed $5,000 for newest
protection (usb dongles, securom, safedisk,
cdzilla) and it was a 5 minute to crack
2. library archivers
Ha, I have 5000 cds of games archived since
begging of the scene in the very early 1980s
note: MP3 pirates trade more new songs a day
than there is minutes to listen
them all. ( http://mp3hq.net/ )
3. racing thrill
Ha, . When did you download Doom5? I
had it 5 hours ago ( so called 0seconds warez )
Now, you will say that majority does this to
get things for free, majority? maybe, but they
are not part of the scene, they dont know the
scene, they dont feel it.
Majority of downloaders sit on p2p, be it
bittorrent or ed2k network or dc++.
You see, the people in the scene make no profit,
generally they rarely even use the things they
pirate (they dont have time to play games, or
watch movies, as the next thing is coming out
within next hour as listed by http://nforce.nl/ )
p2p users make no profit, but they avoid costs
to play newest game, they avoid paying but get
the benefits.
and then you have got the BAD BAD type of a
whore to sells warez, the type that actually
makes a profit.
Lets do now a karma evaluation:
1. scene member
does not sell -> makes no profit
does not use -> no loss of sale
2. p2p / leecher
does not sell -> makes no profit
but does use -> potential loss of sale
3. warez seller
sells, makes profit, by DIRECTLY taking money
away from the developer
And you have a face to say that it is not better
neither morally nor legally if one does not use
and does not make a profit? I fail to see your
logic.

Why the out of date groups?
Among the groups targeted by Fastlink are well-known organizations such as Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon, Class and Project X, all of which specialized in pirating computer games, and music release groups such as APC.
I've been downloading software, music and apps for the last eight years via FTP, IRC, newsgroups, and now Emule, but I've only heard of Fairlight and Class. Music release groups don't get a lot of publicity since it doesn't take much skill to rip a CD.
Fairlight generally releases ISO's, and Class releases rips (without movies and extra stuff). However, I haven't seen a Class release on www.nforce.nl in quite some time. So this bust must have been tracking a few years back.
There seems to be more prestige to release games these days since protections like http://www.star-force.com/ have been giving release groups more challenge.

Re:The movies mentioned in the article
Check the nfo of Thirteen for a nice description of how they recruit people.
OK, so I checked the .nfo:
"At the edge of adolescence, Tracy is a smart straight-A student--if not a little naive. When she befriends Evie, the most popular and beautiful girl in school, Evie leads Tracy down a path of sex..."
Yet you're busy reading the RECRUITING APPLICATION?!? -
The movies mentioned in the article
A quick search on nforce.nl at least reveals what release group ended up with the movies:
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World *SCREENER* - OBUS
The Last Samurai (2003) *SCREENER* - OBUS
Mystic River (2003) *SCREENER* - OBUS
Calendar Girls (2003) *LIMITED* *SCREENER* - OBUS
Thirteen (2003) *LIMITED* *SCREENER* - OBUS
Check the nfo of Thirteen for a nice description of how they recruit people.
"Do you have connections within the academy network and can you obtain academy screeners/dvd screeners during oscar season. then contact us asap."
Oh, and if any feds are reading this: Even though Cokine is the only "name" of an actual person in the nfo, it does not mean he is affiliated with the group. He is just another starving ascii artist, taking requests over IRC. -

Re:Here Here!
Cracked servers to the rescue.
But I agree, central CD-key protection is both fairly easy to set up, fairly consumer friendly and the only vaguely effective copy protection. Of course it only works for multiplayer online games. It does that fairly well, though: although pirates can play the game, their community must be split from the "legal" community which plays on authenticating servers. -
