LokiTorrent vs. MPAA
ravenspear writes "It seems that the attack on torrent sites is continuing strong. This time Lokitorrent is being sued by the MPAA. Unlike Suprnova and most of the previous sites however, they aren't planning to just roll over and die. It will no doubt be a dificult fight, but they plan to stay up for the time being. Also, they are asking for donations to cover their legal expenses. So far they have raised $8,755 out of a needed $30,000. "

You might want to drop the extra "g". You're not very politically-correct at the moment.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
Man, you are higher than I am if you mod that post insightful, it most certainly wasn't a troll, but the equality sign throws the whole thing off.
:P.
Spend your points on someone who doesn't accidentally hit the submit button so quickly
Therefor[e], he's screwing people to help himself and complaining about nearly the same thing
Eh? How's he screwing people? He's asking them to sign up under him. They don't have to pay any money, nor put forth much effort. So what if they don't get an ipod. What have they lost? Your parallel is weak at best.
Sorry, the tsunami didn't effect me and maybe I'm just a cold, calloused bastard, but I'm not giving any of my meager savings to any relief fund for it.
Yeah, actually, that kind of does make you a cold, calloused bastard to say that you're not giving any money because "it doesn't affect you." That's not particularly the point here. The reason you give money is because people stick together and help eachother through tough times. God forbid your part of the world should experience an epic disaster and no one helps out because, as you say, it doesn't affect them.
I'm an 18 year old college student and it's hard enough for me to figure out where my next meal is coming from
Ok. this is just borderline retarded. There's a huge difference between not being able to afford anything but ramen by choice and not being able to get anything to eat because, if you dig for food lying around, you might die from it.

That's the problem. Even if 5 out of 10 sign into the "program", you have just sold out addresses to "trusted partners" for the rest (for your own motives). Have you sent email greetng cards lately? Do tech-savvy friends now hate you for it?
I hope I never see an anti-spam comment from you here.

Oh for the love of god. This is why you use a throw-away email address. Is it my fault you people don't know how to game the system?

You are right, of course. Your new project is to convince 20 million or so less-competent/aware people to use throw-away email addresses. Then again, if you're one of the people benefiting from the scam I'm wasting my time.
Best of luck.
I just seriously doubt that anyone will die of hunger/cold as a result of the flood...There are enough resources being brought in to keep it under control
This is perhaps the stupidest thing I have ever read. No one said anything about the cold, BTW. There are current projections that death caused by hunger and disease may equal the number of deaths caused by the tsunami itself. There are ruptured sewage lines, rotting human and animal corpses, and NO potable water. The transportation and communications infrastructure has been destroyed. How, percisely, is the relief supposed to get there in a timely manner. There's no roads, destoyed shipping ports, and flooded airports. The World Health Organization estimates it could take up to 72 hrs to deliver food, water and medical care to many areas. How well would you handle 72 hrs with no food or potable water and most likely contracting cholera or typhus? Oh, I forgot, you're too worried about being able to download movies to wrap your little pea-brain around that.
Your additional personal donation just won't make a difference
Jesus, how pathetic. They are going to need billions for relief in that area. Every penny toward that goal is significant. But, I'm sure you know no one affected so it's OK. I hope I run across you wounded in the street so I can watch you bleed out. Hey, according to your philosophy it's not affecting me so why should I care or help?
I urge everyone to go to Amazon and donate what you can afford (don't take food off your table). Even if it's only $5. Every little bit helps! As of this posting they've raised $3,475,283.99 (in only 36 hrs!). But of course according to khrtt that won't make any impact. It's better to defend the nebulous "right" to download ripped DVDs.
What an asshat.

It's not my problem if society has to slow down for the lowest common denominator.
