wan-fu writes "LokiTorrent, a popular torrent site, has officially been shut down. After asking for donations from users for the past couple of months to fight the MPAA's lawsuit. LokiTorrent succumbed today and the MPAA took over the website with a stern warning, stating, "You can click, but you can't hide." A variety of outlets are carrying the story."

RTFA! No one won anything.. the jerk that owned the site caved.. there will be no court case.

HAHAHA dead Jews are funny.... ASSHOLE!!!!!!!

[Anonymous Coward]

Yes, you would.

We all know that the MPAA is as bad if not worse then the Nazi soilders who stomped in the skulls of infants to save bullets .

I find you comment increadably insesitive and condemn you as an anti-semite.

SoO now the grandparent who makes jokes about Nazis is funny but the person who calls him on is infamitory.

I think the GP shoudl be modded down as flamebait. He is the one comparing the death of millions of Jewish people and the atrocities Hitler perpetuated on the Jewish community to the MPAA shutting down a site thats primary purpose was to enabel people to download copyrighted material free of charge.

All you mods must be smoking crack.

are you honestly trying to tell me that if we don't call the MPAA Nazi's then we are doomed to repeat the Holocoust?

You can't be that stupid.

Prove it

[nurb432]

**Prove** they have lost compensation . You cant.

You can only make assumptions that its a lost sale.. you can not prove intent of another person just because you "feel its that way".

If I say I wouldn't possess the media if it wasn't free, I mean it.. its not some excuse. And you are calling me a liar, which you have no facts to base that on. None. Zero. Zip.

So shut your face, moron.

FUCK MPAA! I live in russia!

Fuck (sorry about my harsh language, but this time it is needed) MPAA or RIAA! I live in russia! The land of freedom - in this case at least.

I'm sorry - you are saying that I cannot give a VHS or DVD I bought to my friend?! I mean - you would say that it only has been paid for once (by me) but watched twice. Also - you mean I can't invite my friends to me so that we watch a movie together? Wow, who knew... I've been a criminal all the way. Will MPAA pardon me if I submit myself and all my friends now? Please....

[...] But most people don't think that killing and pillaging is not right, [...]

I believe most people do think that killing and pillaging is not right.

I even think most people think that stealing movies online is not right.

1) There was no copyright violation from use of the site, this is like saying the bit torrent application violates copyright material because people use it to access the torrent files that this site "links" to.

2) The site had no links to copyright material, or any copyright material on the systems.

3) What isnt allowed? From what I understand what he did was legal, but what the problem is that a very large group of companies did not like what they were doing, so they stopped this, but it dosen't mean its not legal.

4) US COPYRIGHT LAWS ONLY AFFECT THE US! Just because a company in the US has a copyright, that dosent mean someone in a country that does not use the US copyright laws are affected.

I only bring up this last point because from what I think I remember, this site was located in sweeden (which again I thought did not follow us copyright laws).
