Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents

Posted by samzenpus on from the stop-sharing dept.

honkimon writes "Cnn Money reports, "Government agents said the onslaught included 10 search warrants and the shut down of a central Web site used to coordinate all file-sharing activity on the Elite Torrents network. That Web site, Elitetorrents.org, had a selection of copyrighted works that government officials described as virtually unlimited.""

    I wander if this whole thing is happening because of some pool that is going on in FBI HQ? We've all seen the thing: "Hey, Al, I bet my department can get more arrests than yours in the next five years!" "Oh, you are so taken, bitch!" As a side note, that would also explain why I have, in the last month, been called up no less than 14 times about a large bill on my credit card. Plasma costs, people!

    From the biased article:
    Government shuts down Web site used to steal "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith."

    It's called distribution not stealing.
