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?"

    hmm... This doesn't sound too much like an advertisement, does it?

    Funny how so many slashdot articles are commercials in disguise...

  9. you are forgetting UseNet by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have been using useNet for 6 years now and even tho it has its limitations(cant find the exact stuff you want, but there is till tons of stuff to d/l), it's still one of the best systems for distrbuting files, be it images, music, anime, etc... The only thing usenet lacks is teatrical movies but I dont care much for them anyway. They best thing about Usenet is BOTH the media and the "law enforcment agencies" somehow never mention it or go after it.
