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?"
^^^^^
One of the most disgraceful reoslutions the UN ever passed and the reason it has so little credibility in the west.
What do you expect from a body that has 50 muslim states, and doesn't allow the sole Jewish country (Israel) to sit on the Security Council; the only nation to receive such treatment, btw.
Fuck the UN. All they're good for is making racist statements, making the world laugh by appointing nations such as Libya and Cuba to oversee human rights, and committing New York City parking violations.
They're a fucking farce.
OMG OMG LUNIX OMG
Here you go: I vote. I am a member of the NRA, even though I don't always agree with them. I am a registered Republican, but I tend to vote Libertarian. I don't think politicians should be able to vote on a bill that impacts my personal, private life if they can't fill out a multiple-choice form that shows that they understand how this technology works. They don't (the politicians), and they can't. Ever wonder how many are truly bought and paid for and how many are just senile? They are bought and paid for lobbyists, on the one hand, and whores chasing after campaign contributions on the other. Disney will pass a law, we'll work around it, the whole thing will come back up, etc... Media corporations have already lost. They just don't know it yet.
The sheep lawmakers depend on the fact that sheep taxpayers will not ask questions.... doesn't always work that way.
as a moderator with points right now, don't tell me what the fuck to do, you stupid asshole.

It's funny how fast they stomp down on protecting information, yet guns are so proliferate and no one seems to care about the damage they are doing. Is it just me, or are there serious issues within The United Corporation of America?
Believing you, with your karma (yes, i`ve seen your comments,so I can see the karma is justified - metamod DOES work after all), would be like buying a car for cash off of eBay from someone with a rating of -20.
