I believe that the admin on that site has turned over the logs to the MPAA so that they can prosecute. I'm not sure how that's going to work, unless that site ran the trackers, too.

The proper response is to zero the hard drive that they're on and then flee the country

imo

edit: seriously though.. I'm glad I don't download hardly anything anymore.

Lokitorrent was holding a fundraiser to raise money for his legal defence. Before the site shut down, it was all over the front page.

From what I have heard (Purely rumour, mind you), the guy running it sold/gave the website to the MPAA, then took the money he raised and kept it for himself.

I think destroying evidence that's already been subpoenead is massively illegal.

I'm glad there's only one torrent site I use anymore.
A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

If by that you mean pay the MPAA something to the tune of 1 million dollars, then yes. Yes he did.
