Was the Lokitorrent Suit a Hoax?
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" "
Wow, thats amazing, me and a friend on teamspeak when it first happened both bet it was probably a scam, and that we should do such a scam just like it...
Turns out... we're right.
Amazing, how gullable people are to scams these days.
Good luck with a class-action lawsuit these days. Thanks to our president, class-action suits go to federal judges, which are very unfriendly to them. Voila, pesky lawsuits on behalf of consumers go away.

you're supposed to "watch" the tv show on tv
Well, why don't you just keep doing what you are "supposed" to do and those of us who can think for ourselves will utilize great sites like ShunTV that allows us more freedom and choice in our television consumption. For someone who's login is "Reckless Visionary" your comment is more indicative of someone who's nick might be "Brainwashed Sheep".

I told you so!
Next time swallow when I cum in your mouth, bitch.

Funny, your login is more like "Spineless Pussy".
These are strange days we live in. At least when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was standing up against laws he believed were wrong he didn't do it from the shadows of anonymity. Maybe like his namesake, instead of hiding, you could nail your improved vision of how to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts" to the doors of Congress.
What's weird, is you defend your freedom of choice in television consumption. I mean doesn't that by its very virtue represent you as a 'brainwashed sheep' as well? Why aren't you stealing a 'zine or reacting in some avante garde theatre?
"I have to download my copies of the most popular forms of entertainment BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT!" What a load of crap. If you could think for yourself why would you even bother with passive amusements like television programming?
Read Heinlein's 1953 Revolt in 2100, now more than ever.

/. ID is low so I must respect him" crap either). Furthermore, the fact that you even mention Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the same breath as the topic at hand shows just how "insightful" you are. I'm sorry that I don't live up to the standard that Dr. King set while I am posting about fucking television torrents . Get real.
Whatever, guy, I don't see any need to go "on the record" when it comes to this subject. If anonymous posting were not a critical part of what makes the internet (and indeed, slashdot) what it is, than the powers that be would not include the feature. Don't give me the "he posted as AC, therefore it's completely baseless" bullshit (I'm certainly not subscribing to the "David's

Oh fucking COME OFF IT. Since when are these activities mutually exclusive? The fact of the matter is you don't know me and I don't know you, so don't make points in your rebuttal that rely on things that you know nothing about. Should I read "zine's" (I am a big fan of Cometbus, to be honest) and perform in avant garde theater (as a San Franciscan, been there, done that) because David Rolfe has deemed that to be a worthwhile way to consume my media? Seriously. Fuck off.
