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.

  4. What a relief by BenSpinSpace · · Score: 5, Funny

    Man, I'm so unbelievably relieved that you guys are listing off virtually every torrent site in existence. Since obviously nobody at the MPAA would ever think to read Slashdot, it's totally obvious that you should post more torrent sites, including a mirror of one site that was apparently just forced to shut down. No need to be covert here!!

    I sure hope I didn't contribute to the death of suprnova, by submitting that article to /. ...

    I mean, I know that wouldn't have anything to do with it, but I still feel bad drawing attention to it the day before it died. :(

    Speaking as a Russian, I can at least verify that this man is sane and in full possession of his faculties. Russian TV is just about the most horrid and bleak torrent of dementia ever to spring from the mind of man.

    My favorite is their response to Dreamworks:

    As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States
    of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe.
    Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here.
    For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.

    Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium,
    will result in
    a) a suit being filed for harassment
    b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for
    sending frivolous legal threats.

    It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are fucking morons, and
    that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

    Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on

    Go fuck yourself.

    The ultimate P2P service would be Freenet 1.x, scheduled to be released sometime after the last atom of hydrogen has been consumed by the last star and the remaining ashes frozen solid.

    Beneath the starless sky, on the frozen landfill that was once Earth, a feeble glow suddenly appears. It comes from a long-dead display, which slowly comes to something resembling life. For a while it flickers like a candle in the wind, then stabilizes into a steady glow. The last surviving human is drawn to it, and for a moment he just stares, not sure if he should believe his own eyes - Freenet 1.0 actually found the key he was searching for !.

    Then, suddenly, he realizes - the "Index of not-yet-inserted keys" actually found what he was searching for ! Exited, he starts reading, and soon he knows how to reverse entropy. He throws his head back and laughs. And so it begins again...
