Was the Lokitorrent Suit a Hoax?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the put-on-your-foil-hat dept.

kamhp writes "Recently earthreactor.com published an article stating that the whole Loki Torrent suit was a fraud and that it was all staged to collect donations toataling in the tens of thousands then sell the domain. "It seems that the owner of LokiTorrent decided to take the donation money and run, and to cover his tracks, scare the hell out of the entire p2p community. The scare tactic was probably nothing but a decoy to convince intelligent people not to ask the right questions" "

    Looks like the site really was illegal, and not just in the *AA way either.

    Me and my friend first looked at the netcraft, the IP never changed when the 'FILE SHARING IS WRONG' Page hosted by the mpaa came up.

    http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=lokito rr ent.com

    See? The ip addr's never changed.

    ..was there all along in a way: Loki is the Norse deity representing deceit and under-handedness: the Sly One, the Trickster, the Shape Changer

  4. MPAA isn't taking any credit by iluvcapra · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Perhaps revealing, the MPAA website is not taking credit for taking down lokitorrent: there is no mention of loki on its website, and its recent press release on targeting torrent sites neither mentions lokitorrent, nor mentions interrupting the service of any website. It only mentions legal action taken.
