LokiTorrent vs. MPAA

Posted by samzenpus on from the good-luck dept.

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. "

    So now you're paying to keep an illegal site online? Just buy the damn songs and movies! Damn hippies.

      I don't make any sense? No, you're reading wrong. I didn't say the site was doing anything illegal. I said the users were.

      Jury?
      Only if the site in question is located in the US. Other countries don't drag in jury-people for things like this. Another flaw in the antiquated judicial system here in the US.

    Because the thieving little 'tards think that donating 10 bucks will remove their guilt of stealing thousands of dollars of movies, music and software...

    >The donations show that people are willing to pay money, but the quality of films (and music?) is not worth paying for.

    Don't think they are worth paying for?

    Actually, I am offended by your comment and the name of the site. Aside from being a feminist, I am a witch of the northern gods, and I wish people would not take their names in vain. If it was Jesustorrent a lot of people would complain.

    A witch of the northern gods? Hahaha. Ah, I love people who take up religions and ideas they have no clue about. *shaking my head*

    Sejd är inget man brukar som en normal följare av fornsed och saker som kallas 'häxa' brukar vara av ondo.

    Did you understand that? Didn't think so. Your grasp of Swedish seem to be on par with your grasp on the beliefs you claim to adher to.

    Basicly, What Loki is doing has the potential to set a precidence that will affect every person in America. This is about more than just piracy. This is about my right to tell you information; and the rights of the people who want that information to remain hidden. If Loki is found to be at fault, then Google (google for 'filetype:torrent paris hilton') is probably next. After that, probably sites that link to documents that *they* don't want you to read.

    Keep your money at home. Take care of what's close to you. If you want to change something, at least make it something that may someday affect your life.
