BitTorrent Servers Under DDoS Attacks

jZnat writes "CNet News.com reports that popular BitTorrent tracker hosts such as Suprnova and LokiTorrent underwent DDoS attacks on Wednesday (I'll bet you noticed). The culprits are primarily unknown, but these sites were flooded beyond control from the attack. This appears to be striking an interest in revising the BT protocol and Suprnova's interest in making their own protocol."

You are ignorant. The only countries where copyright infrigement is not considered a crime are third world countries, cut off from the rest of the world. Distributing software (programs, videos or music) for which you don't have a licence is a criminal offense in the EU and all aspiring EU members - basically the only country where a grey line exists is Albania.

Stop spreading misinformation and / or educate yourself.

Don't you people get tired of spinning this record?

That all these nasty corporations that want you to stop stealing their content are satanic morons and don't get how fundamentally cool and right peer to peer stuff is?

There must come a time when you will stop deluding yourselves on this mass scale. Your stealing stuff and these companies are not evil trying to stop you, you're the ones that are evil.

Re:Why do you keep mentioning SUPRnova damn it

[Blakey Rat]

Oh no! You poor scriptkiddies! Why, with no Suprnova you might actually have to fucking PAY for the content you consume.

Please don't shut down what amounts to an organized crime ring! Waah!
