Slashdot Mirror
TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark
Numerous people wrote in with similar stories: "Without providing a reason, both of these sites have shut down: SuprNova.org and TorrentBits.org." We mentioned a few days ago that the MPAA was going after Bittorrent sites.
"I hope Exeem dies a firey death, as places like suprnova can easily be replaced."
It's a little early to be saying that these places can be replaced when we don't know why they're being shut down. Perhaps the MPAA/RIAA is going to DDoS attack all the torrent sites to bring them down. As for your remarks on Exeem, they just show you're an immature zealot. Do you really think that it would have been a problem for Kazaa not to have a Linux client? I mean I'm a Linux user but we make absolutely no difference as we are in such small number compared to Windows users. It's really pathetic that you hope that any piece of software not fitting your 'open source' ideal fails.
You may be moderated 'Insightful' but I have a hard time working out how this equates to 'fucking people over'...maybe it's just me.
I doubt that slashdot's attorneys think at all well of you using their bandwidth for illegal solicitation. Do you think that VA Software wants to wind up in the legal crosshairs of the RIAA or the MPAA?
Well, Mr Anonymous Coward... I don't consider myself an open source zealot... I'm often paranoid enough not to want to install anything binary on my linux box. But the main reason why I hope Exeem dies a firey death is because it is based off of, and quite dependant on the torrent network... and the protocol will be pretty much the same...
And Bit Torrent's source is availible for all to see. I just think it would make sense, and allow for faster development if it was open source.
That's pretty much it, and besides, watching "a firey death" is always fun. Like a train wreck.
