torrentfreak.com — It?s not hard to determine what?s hot on BitTorrent, just go to your favorite BitTorrent site and order the results by most seeds or peers. However, finding out what?s popular by people ?in the know? usually requires some more steps.

How about a mashup of PirateBay movies RSS and IMDB?<a class="user" href="http://www.conceptuel.co.uk/tpb/">http://www.conceptuel.co.uk/tpb/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.conceptuel.co.uk/tpb/?tpbid=202">http://www.conceptuel.co.uk/tpb/?tpbid=202</a>

I understand why they do it, but I am philosophically opposed to private sites. If you're going to download pirated files, you do so because somebody is kind enough to be offering them to you. P2P is about sharing, and excluding people just seems wrong. If a stranger shared his files with you, I think you should be able to share your files with whomever else would like to have them. That's why I loved Demonoid (sure it was invite, but c'mon.. it wasn't exactly like OiNK. Anyone could get an invite if they even half-assedly tried) and love TPB. Anyone can join the party and not be all stuck up and "leet" about it.

Why do you expect your idea to be protected while you're enabling copyright infringement?

That's just greed talking. And a any rate, I've gotten over 1MBPs on TPB. Like anywhere, private or no, it depends on the seeders. I'm on some private sites and I get s**tty speeds on them just as often as with public sites.

So, by your logic, it's perfectly understandable for someone to mug you? It's not that the mugger is against laws, he just wants your money. Why stop there? Carjacking, burglary... you'd understand if all these things happen to you? Because, hey, nobody said life was fair... so that makes it completely okay to live without ethics.

The difference being in the quality of end product. For example on Oink you could be sure you were getting a proper FLAC or 192+ mp3. No pissing about with webrips, transcodes or 20 copies of apparently the same thing.

If anything, I feel Private sites are the opposite. Everyone wants/needs to upload to maintain their ratio, so everyone is absolutely happy to find rarer stuff to upload it, and keep seeding torrents as much as possible. This means everyone is sharing more than public sites, where you can hit and run and not care. And if you don't share, you don't stay in the site. It keeps everything perfect for the people who are following the rules. And nobody cares about the lazy people, so they get kicked out and it's no loss for the good community members
