IsoHunt Told To Pull Torrent Files Offline

suraj.sun writes with this excerpt from Ars Technica: "The founder of popular Bit Torrent site IsoHunt, Gary Fung, has been ordered to remove the .torrent files for all infringing content — an order that could result in the site shutting down. US District Judge Stephen Wilson issued the order last week after years of back-and-forths over the legality of IsoHunt and Fung's two other sites (Torrentbox and Podtropolis). Fung claims he's still hoping for a more agreeable resolution that won't result in IsoHunt closing its doors, but for now, things aren't looking good for the torrent site."

First it's the Pirate Bay, then Mininova, Newzbin, and now IsoHunt? Where or Where are we to get our stuff from? Itunes?

Get a dialup connection. I've received 3 notices from my DSL provider, but absolutely nothing from my 56k Dialup provider. For whatever reason dialup bittorrenters seem to be ignored.

And no it isn't that slow. Figure 2 episodes downloaded while you're sleeping, and 2 more while at work == 4 new episodes a day that I can watch when I get home.

It's called a parabola. It's just a morality tale.

And yes, if you could glean some sort of moral from a kid's book, it too would be a parabola.
