Surely this should be in the "file sharing applications" section? Actually no...it's not a question....so Safety Valve under General Discussion would have been a better place for this. But in response to your request, I assume you are refering to the increasing number of hit and runs on torrent sites. This is largely due to people becoming scared of 'seeding' since the states made their law changes - "up to 10 years for making a film available for download before its official release date" Depending on where you get torrents from tho, some sites expect you to maintain a certain ratio of seeding to leeching. Leechers will be removed from this type of site as they are not sticking to the terms and conditions they agreed to at signup. Further pressure on the P2P user from the 784 file sharers http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/6591.cfm that the RIAA went after when they (MGM) didnt get the decision they wanted from the supreme court. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/6571.cfm But I would think 'the scene' is going to see a dramatic drop in the number of torrents made available after the raid on release groups last week http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4640439.stm But this was always going to happen. As many news articles have highlighted, the aquisition of copyright protected materials over P2P has become mainstream. Seen by many as acceptable, or even the norm. It was only a matter of time before such complacency came back to bite. Many new laws are changing the way people view P2P. Authorities are keen to see that these new laws are enforced. The internet is no longer the place is was 15-20 years ago. commercial greed and exploitation such as P2P are rife. So will greed and self preservation (human nature) kill 'the scene', only time will tell.
...not likely, where there is will, there will be a way... ...not really, it started as a place to plunder, and will remain a place to plunder...

Thats a pretty long reach dont ya think? I kinda get the feeling you weren't on here 15-20 years ago. Aint pickin a fight here by the way. Just my opinion. Peace
No prob at all Taz. I just believe in total freedom on the net I would have to agree with you though Peace; Weycraze I sincerely apologize, 10 too many ale's last night, but damn they were great!!
EASY MONEY PPL GO TO: *No credit card or any payments required* Really easy, all you do is sign up and enter where you want them to send your check. -Next, log in and go to the "earn money" tab. Click where it says "Click here to start the Surf Junky Browser". -Your web browser window will pop up and rotate ads. -Leave it on overnight or something, and you make money for all the time you leave it on. -It's 45 cents per hour if you just leave it alone and dont sign up for anything, but it adds up if you just leave it running whenever you aren't at your computer. Ive already gotten 2 checks from them, they send out a check every month, as long as you have made 25 dollars.
