BitTorrent Community Running For Cover?

govatos writes "Bandwidth issues and DOS Attacks brought Bytemonsoon, a popular BitTorrent page down, but now pages are closing for scarier reasons. Torrentse.cx 'recieved a cease and desist letter during the day of Wednesday, July 16, 2003 for copyright infringement. The entire website has been removed and will not return.' Will corporate pressure kill the BitTorrent movement, or will it keep flying from site to site before it settles somewhere 'safe' like Sealand's HavenCo?"

Re:As an attorney...

[AstroDrabb]

Oh, go home with your crap. It is big business and lowly attorneys like you that are running America into the ground. You attorneys sue for anything as long as there is a possibility to make some money. When are all you dirty attorneys, corrupted politicians and corrupted big business going to learn that when you take away our freedom of speech, fair use, price fix and a list of other offences far too long for ./ that you will have to deal with our repercussion? If that means constantly breaking DRM/anti-copy mechanisms or P2P, then so be it. We the People have be drugged through the mud for too many years so that attorneys, big business and dirty politicians can all get fat checks. Well, now you are getting a wake up call. If you really care about the best interest for your client, then tell them to practice fair business, put the consumer first, stop price fixing and lobbying congress to strip away our fair use and first amendment right.
