On btjunkie.org you are greeted with the following: '2005 — 2012 This is the end of the line my friends. The decision does not come easy, but we've decided to voluntarily shut down. We've been fighting for years for your right to communicate, but it's time to move on. It's been an experience of a lifetime, we wish you all the best! '"

  1. Just once... by multiben · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just once I would like to hear from genuine copyright holders on slashdot who both make a living from their creative works *AND* support un-regulated torrenting and file sharing. Everytime you so much as hint that copyright should be respected on this site you get modded troll, or flamebait. Why? So, people can't enter into a debate about it, and you never have to have your perceptions challenged? For a community which seems so passionate and open about free communication, it certainly seems to shut down people who don't agree with the majority pretty quickly.

    The people aren't obligated to offer copyright at all, the Constitution merely permits it, and then only for the promotion of science and useful arts.

    And the creator isn't obligated to create at all
