- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -6/+99Wake me up when thepiratebay.org gets shut down.
- TubbyCat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+55The tubes have now been reduced by 90%
- drjekelmrhyde, on 10/10/2007, -2/+46and 4 more pops up
- MavRevMatt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+44BREAKING: MPAA/RIAA are ***** who want to arrest good administrators, and on sys-admin appreciation day no less!
- jagermeistr, on 10/10/2007, -7/+45the death of the internet begins. more people should be outraged that theyre shutting down search engines.
- johnkyoungoh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Another one bites the dust...
- inhibit0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23they must have used the Spanish armada against those pirates...
- tempusrob, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22You know, it's slippery slope ***** like that that has made politics what it is today. There's such a thing as shades of gray, dude.
- iceman0113, on 10/10/2007, -4/+21and on another note, 10 more other bittorrent sites popped up in its place. Also, dattebayo admins were arrested a couple days ago, for those who watch bleach and naruto.
- WernerCD, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Gavagai80:
And what about all the illegal ***** I can look up thru Google? Should they shut that down? And yahoo? and MSN search?
But the main thing is: Pedophilia was mentioned NO where in the article. So what does that have to do with the topic at hand?
Answer: not a dam thing.
Trying to tie Torrents into pedophilia makes you sound like an uneducated ass. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16These are small time, badly coded sites. Nothing to worry about, folks.
- stklaw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9That is no way breaking
- Elbart, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10And?
Torrent-Sites are as legal or illegal as postal services. They are merely the messenger. - PueSi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"Update: July 27, 2007 - This morning at 02:43, Dattebayo staff member ImpSyn, also known as David Pryor, age 29, was pronounced dead. His death comes following a gunshot injury inflicted by a state police officer during the execution of a search and seizure warrant on his home yesterday afternoon. David owned and operated a small website design company out of his home. He leaves a wife and two children, ages 5 and 3 respectively. ImpSyn recently joined our staff when we were recruiting for an opening in the finish editor position. Despite only having worked on a few episodes of our popular releases, he was eager to meet us and join in on the panel at Otakon this year. His family initially requested that his identity not be given on this website, however in light of recent events they have reversed that decision. Currently his funeral arrangements are in planning. David's lawyer has been updated regarding this issue and has assured us that appropriate legal action will be taken, however at this time additional details cannot be released."
This is a joke right? - Derrekito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7not even the sys-admin day bit?
- 0firefly0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6http://www.dattebayo.com/pr/40
Yeah, cmon guys. Really? - mcosmi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6oh, and they arent contributing to changing the antiquated copyright laws? Its embarrassing how these people have put their heads in the sand and pretended that the internet didnt exist....now their scared and they hope that laws will protect their interests....well guess what....we have the power now...and theyre getting scared.
- SPECOPS, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6The internet (AKA Tubes) was designed by D.A.R.P.A. so that nothing can take down the whole thing. With this in mind, a perfect example is Supernova, gone, but came back hours later. Another, ALLOFMP3.com, gone but back with all user accounts, passwords, and money on the "new" site. Newsflash, they'll never be able to take it down, it's sorta like saying "let's get rid of all the guns in the world", just isn't going to happen unless you have a time-machine.
- manicallday, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8I find this ridiculous. They act if this ***** is actually important. We're talking about sharing music. If I had a train explode or a building fall down from a terrorist attack the last thing that I would put resources into would be file sharing enforcement. If the recording companies think that this is such a big deal then they should do more about than relying on lawsuits and looking for government for help. How about making it harder to share the crappy music? Or even better, why not just find a better way to make money besides selling albums? However, they don't do this because they know it would hurt album sales.
- NeonVanadium, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If this is the direction that government policy will take in the future towards torrent and P2P networks, and other nasty draconian *****, than than I find no alturnitive than to reject the governments athority. In short: ***** the Police. Unfortunatly, there is little I, as one person can do about it. *sigh*
- ffleming, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6The last As in RIAA and MPAA stand for America. These sites were Spanish.
- tempusrob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"How about making it harder to share."
Like DRM or arcane "internet laws?" Is that really a road you want to go down? - tomi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5No. It's cute avatars are a must.
- bluepdx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3missing out FTW!
- alefox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3well, as long as they don't touch mininova.org, i don't care
- Matt2k, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Don't be stupid. Law and ethics is as much about the intent as the actual act itself. A common carrier is much different than a smuggler. Arguing conditionals that clearly don't exist is absurd.
- gothicknight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2 OMFG... ok, now i'm getting upset with this hype on IP, people getting killed over anime? It's just cartoons for god's sake.
This would be best to put in front digg page, as it worth it, to show people what kind of mentality is going on in this world, when some one may be killed in they're own home just for doing something he likes. - SilenceBroken, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4"...administrators were arrested and accused of facilitating 'copyright infringement.'" The way this quote is worded, it's like you actually don't think they are infringing on copyrights. I've been to a torrent search English, and it's boldly linked to TV shows, movies, and the like that were being distributed illegitimately. Come back to reality: It was copyright infringement. Any reasonable person can see what these people were doing. Get over it.
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2'funy' ftw!
- MavRevMatt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Granted it's Digg, so saying something is "BREAKING" doesn't really mean it.
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Um...they did try, DRM, rootkits, etc. All have pretty much failed. And why should they block my ability to rip a CD I just bought onto my iPod?
- yhan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This just shows that the RIAA/MPAA are coordinating their Iberian efforts.
2 days ago Portuguese police closed 3 bittorrent sites based on Portugal. The biggest of whom btuga.net
The RIAA/MPAA probably forwarded letters to these two countries respective governments at the same time (channeled through the US external relations).
More than that, a pretty much estabished evil view of these sites was passed to the mainstream media (ex: they were reporting the sites stole big media profit by requiring their 200k users a euro 5monthly tax). - MavRevMatt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yet something that they were closed down for was American, i.e. music the RIAA ***** with all the time, so meh.
- dragonopolis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I say we all call for continuous raids and police probing into the U.S. Postal Service for all the illegal stuff that goes through the system.
You know what, I bet if that happen the U.S. Postal System would probably cave in just like these Bittorrent Sites and would announce that they are going to read and search every mail and package that is sent to save their butts.
.............And guess What? The world would, including the U.S, would stop using the Postal service immediately and the system would fall apart.
It's funny how there seems to be a large amount of Americans, like myself, that know and see the violations of our rights yet why does it seem that so few actually take action? Why is it almost impossible these days to quickly fill a petition or to gather large peaceful groups to travel to our State or Federal Capitals to show our seriousness of these issues.
But at last all we hear is the echoes of our forefathers cry for freedom but the Actual Spirit of American over all types of media but nothing is getting down about it. America citizens need to stop blabbing/sucking our thumbs and start doing.
Its time to take the bull by the horns and take it down before the bull gets out of control and we won't have the strength, will, or legal means to defend ourselves anymore.
What is sad is that our "look the other way attitude" toward Government has gotten so out of control that it is now affecting other countries and peoples lives in those countries.
If there is any organization or group that is equal or more a threat than our out of control Federal Government, I say its Corporate America.
Somewhere in history, we Americans forgot that we were the ones to be served not the other way around. We are now slaves to our Government and slaves to Corporate America.
But its still not too late. We still have the power to change. Unfortunately, some of these changes will be hard and in some cases even risky but if we pull it off the right way the rewards will be worth the suffering.
If we don't start dramatically increasing our involvement NOW and stay involved, instead of the usual waiting every four years at the Presidential Ballet, rather than slipping back into our little corners only to just whimper if something goes wrong yet do nothing till the next Election - we deserve every bit of the crap we here on the news everyday and thats just pathetic and sad in my opinion.
I'm getting tired of this crap on Digg because while the circumstances may be different, its still the same old story of Government and Corporate abuse of the people. As a country we know what we need to do as a whole but just not enough people are willing to unite to do it. Maybe its because we cowardly fear the lost of income and jobs because your Corporate leaders twist, lie, even scare you into thinking all is lost if you pick freedom over Corporate control. With the Government its in the name of Terrorism/Safety and security.
Hmmm...... replace freedom with safety/security. Bending to the will of those in Power out of fear could be deemed cowardly.
Hey, maybe we should just change the last part of our National Anthem to ......."land of the Safe and the home of the Cowards" - TygerrTygerr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Comments like yours...well, nothing really. Rebel without a point. What IS your point? It clearly is copyright infringement, not even the pirates disagree with that unless they have to say it to someone in authority when, for some reason, they seem to lose their nerve. :)
- KrazyA1pha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1> Stalin did so
Sorry, Godwin's Law. You lose. - Tanath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Uh, how do you figure?
- stimpack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Copyright infringement is not theft, you watch too many DVD warnings. Theft is bad, but I will ignore copyright all I like thanks.
- XZanatos, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3I am sure everyone hates "them" for making the arrests, but no one here could possible say they weren't "facilitating “copyright infringement”". Sure you could bring up that there are some sites out there that distribute legitimate torrents.... and no one is arresting them are they?
The reality is that the vast majority of everything being torrented around is only a couple years old. Even at the first historical term of copyright of 14 years, at least 90% ov everything you will find in torrents is not 'legitimate'. And by legitimate I mean "in the public domain". - Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Is to give me an invite?
- Derrekito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1ISPs facilitate copyright infringement more so than any other individual, group, company, etc. in the world.
- h2gofast, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2when corporations involve themselves in collusion, market-manipulation, and graft for politicians to enact laws that protect their business model, that's not capitalism, that's cronyism. These are the guys who market Britney Spears to teach 12 year old girls they need to dress like whores to be validated, and then they complain about unethical file-sharing. These are the guys who market gangster rap to teach young boys that you got to be a killer, or have to have been shot for street cred'. How ***** ethical is that. I say ***** 'em. Music artists have been getting screwed by the industry since the whole thing started. True there's a few at the top who have enough money left over to live well, but for everyone of them there's a hundred more who have been screwed by the music industry. They are rat ***** bastards and the sooner they go out of business the better everyone will be.
Tygerr you ***** shill. - championchap, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Preferably of a stuffed animal I believe.
- KrazyA1pha, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I like how you call BitTorrent site owners "***** bitches" for running indexing websites which facilitate sharing among people around the world. These are people who are taking a stand for what they believe in by being dedicating and putting in hard work. Furthermore, outside of the bigger BT sites, most of the private sharing sites are run completely off of donations. That said, these are people who are a hell of a lot more ballsy than you, have very little to gain and a hell of a lot to lose.
Now why don't you sign off digg, get out of your ***** chair, and go back to picking on 8th graders again. Nobody here wants your naive, negative input. - bharless3329, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1yes, isohunt!
- XZanatos, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2a postal service which, in essence, setup their shop in the middle of a busy street of 'copyright infringers', knew that pretty much all of the messages being sent through their site would be to facilitate illegal distribution of copyrighted works (even by a 14 year rule), they can SEE the content of the messages being sent, know the content is illegal, and then allow it to happen.
Aside from ALL that you just might be able to say they are 'like' a postal service. - SilenceBroken, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Just because someone's a jerk doesn't justify stealing from them. It justifies boycotting them.
