Just wanted to say something, everyone seems to have gotten extremely paranoid over this MPAA press release when theres not much to go on yet. Having read my way through this thread a couple of times, i think more recent posts are extremely elitist. I've been coming to niteshdw for months now and im not a leecher, i used to leave my computer seeding as well. I didnt join in the community in a written way on these boards, as you'll note this is my first post. I voted on polls, read what people had written on the boards and the site itself was an amazing accomplishment in my opinion. Im very grateful that niteshdw saw fit to create what was a fantastic thing and enjoyed it while it existed. However, the paranoia that has struck the community, especially this thread, did my head in and prompted me to post. All you people who posted every day, dont have a go at anyone new! Perhaps theyre just like me and just shared and shared alike while they could, a persons number of posts dont define them, and this idea that the MPAA have "special agents" policing the niteshdw forums in case someone mentions if theres another tracker is ludicrous! Theres tonnes of other trackers if you can find em, none of which belong to niteshdw anyway so he's covered himself by closing his for now. I just want everyone to mosey on over to IsoHunt and read their statement about the MPAA announcement. Theres a lot of torrent sites that arent going to stand for being bullied and i have to agree with them. They are not actively copying restricted material onto their servers, most of the traffic is simply passing through their bandwidth and theyre just making .torrent files available which arent in themselves copyright material. Metaphorically, if your mate down the pub said, "I know a bloke who can get you cheap DVDs" he wouldnt be breaking the law would he... Technically everyone connected to a tracker and sharing pieces of the files actually has the copyright material and could be prosecuted, and on some trackers thats around 20,000 peers at a time (if you're lucky). The MPAA wouldnt bother trying to process 20,000 civil suits so they bully the sites that have the .torrent files, sites that do nothing but for lack of a better explanation, point you in the direction of people with the files on a p2p network. Anyway im done moaning, everyone just stop pointing fingers at each other and going "you're a secret MPAA special niteshdw forum monitoring agent!" its so sad. Gd'nite
