LokiTorrent Shut Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'm-sure-those-donations-will-be-well-spent dept.

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."

    No, you're wrong. theres nothing wrong with hosting torrent files, only their contents. Why has the MPAA gone after them when they're not actually distributing any illegal content?

    Typical fucking americans.
