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."

> You KNOW that it's not allowed
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.

You're an idiot. I'm getting tired of seeing all of this copyrightviolation!=theft crap.

If you obtain something through which you have not reimbursed (or otherwise have a mutual agreement with) the person/party entitled to compensation for previous obtainment, that's theft. It's all theft. Copyright violation is specific kind of theft that was commited.

Stop dancing around semantics.
