- slasherx, on 10/12/2007, -5/+48Torrentspy is different from The Pirate Bay. Where do you think a lot of the content originates from? Without sites like TPB, sites like TorrentSpy really wouldn't be much since they are pretty much crawlers for other torrents from torrent sites.
- oxyrubber, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44@thelastknowngod
- The Pirate Bay (TPB) has given you The Pirate Party.
- TPB has kept their logs secret even though the (Swedish?) police raided their "server farm" and took some boxes for evidence.
- The Makers of TPB have fought the onslaught of copyright owners (in the legal realm) from being able to shut down their torrent-linking service (and by extension, other torrent-linking sites).
What has TorrentSpy done again? I remember lots of website popups and "women wanting sex in your area".
Personally, I like some of the larger private trackers nowadays, but I love TPB for what they have done in the legal area. - 3Den, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37Sshh....
The first rule of usenet is DO NOT TALK ABOUT USENET. - Wetzilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27Torrentspy used to be so much better, before they added the 5 million flashing banners with annoying sounds and the pop up every page that even firefox can't stop. And then they even screwed up all their categories, so it's almost impossible to find anything without directly searching for it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Shhhhhhhhhhh
Quiet. We're still "Reading News" on Usenet! - oxyrubber, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13NOT WORTH A READ unless you are interested in this guy's (very) short list of "illegal websites". Not Diggworthy. For sure don't spend more than 60 seconds perusing this page.
This is basically just a how-to for laypersons interested in stealing media-content, but who haven't been involved in this before. It doesn't go into any detail about which sites are better for anonymity, breadth or depth of content, speed of acquisition, etc. Could have absorbed this content in 6 delicio.us links.
The author doesn't talk about IRC or newsgroups or FTP sites or dedicated P2P apps (except for the BitTorrent protocol). The first paragraph is a little bit of a mis-nomer (sp?). - gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12For the last time,
allofmp3 is NOT illegal. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"There are only a fraction of the illegal websites there was not more than 5 years ago. It is so easy to get software now a days from torrents and IRC sites it’s ridiculous."
I'm not even sure what to do with that sentence, if it is one. - slasherx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11They have dailyepisodes.com in that article, but it's not actually showing any illegal content anymore as they were told to remove it.
- DeathtoG4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8DailyEpisodes.com
TorrentSpy.com
allofmp3.com
dailymotion.com - whoisKeel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That's the whole point of the article...
- kidhero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7a whole lot of fluff
LAME - Annotated, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7NO ONE SEEMS TO GET IT!!!! This is a spam article. The FIRST site mentioned (dailyepisodes.com) has nothing but ads on it. It NEVER had content. It was registered less than one month ago - Sept. 25, 2006. http://whois.domaintools.com/dailyepisodes.com
Granted, the guy who spawned this spam, then managed to get it to the front of Digg is pretty clever. Well, not that clever. But clever enough to scam quite a few people, it seems. - cmiz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Digg eats WordPress blogs alive... always has, always will.
- Spamiclese, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This just in. Poster needs English lessons.
- h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Blogspam isn't news *****
- cowbellthunder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It took me a while to digest it as well - I think it should read
"Only a fraction of the illegal websites exist compared to the number of illegal websites that existed 5 years ago."
It is irrelevant to the article, and is by all means a ***** sentence. - dokbeast7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I prefer searching scrapetorrent and then downloading off of either TPB or torrentspy. It's a good search and you don't have to mess with either site any more than you want to.
http://scrapetorrent.com/index.php - Modulo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the guy is obviously a noob just trying to get some adsense traffic going, he didn't even mention dc++, waste, darknets, the HARM protocol, wrmhole, viperpit, MAXice, TrePAN. he hadn't even heard of frickin astalavista and that's been around since forever
- h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No, there's a good 10 times more. A lot of them are invite-only now. I guess you weren't invited.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5it didn't catch it.
- Monoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3ScottMaximus,
Can you actually say that you're compensating the artist for buying a track for 1 dollar (or more)? No
Unless you are paying the artist directly you have to trust that the seller is legally honoring a contract they have with the artist. Personally I would prefer to pay the artist directly. The music industry is in it to make money for themselves, not for the artists. If you think otherwise, think again.
The online music buying models we have today are evolving. Allofmp3 shows it can be done and that consumers are willing to buy music online for the right price and without DRM. Consumers are also willing to pay more for better quality.
The right model for today is probably somewhere between iTunes and AllofMP3. - Omicron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3agreed oxyrubber.
this guy doesn't list any sites that are useful whatsoever for getting free content... other than torrentspy, which involves torrents. his article is supposed to help you find SITES that offer content rather than torrents. so let's go through the rest of them:
dailyepisodes - doesn't exist, probably never did. there is no content at all on the site, just spammed links
allofmp3.com - there's nothing FREE about this site whatsoever. and it's practially worthless if you can't use visa/mastercard which he mentions in his article. i guess amex is the way to go?
dailymotion.com - a wannabe youtube. anything you find on here, you will find on youtube. guaranteed.
this is spam people. mark it as so and stop digging things just because everyone else diggs them. - Blake3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Spelling?
(It's grammar, btw) - SystmBetatester, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3not the best list ive seen... the only one i actually use it probably daily motion to watch shows on the fly, while downloading higher quality versions over BT.
- xWintermute, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4interesting. i can see a bunch of these dailymotion based sites popping up in the future.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"There are only a fraction of the illegal websites there was not more than 5 years ago."
Is that English? - Tiak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Hmm, we're getting a quasi-digg-effect already after this few diggs (around 36).... This has to be some kind of record. (Site is kind of on-and-off at the moment, it keeps exceeding CPU limitations rather than bandwidth ones.)
- noeljohnhoward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i wasnt serious...
- exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4phishing for pirates
- techykid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2warez-bb.org and a rapidshare premium account pretty much cater to all the needs..
- wurzelgummage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I love the unintential "share and enjoy" reference at the end.
- ReallyChili, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow. Was this headline written by a retard?
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where's 24 in those links?
- JaytB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Why don't use 14 of the biggest torrentsites in the same time?
My personal favorite would be: http://www.torrents.to/
It's like a metacrawler. Type in what you search, select which torrent-site to search from and find. But here it only starts. You'll get a resultscreen from the selected torrent-site with at the top the 14 available sites where you can click on to see their results. Quick and painless. Great to find that very specific, difficult to find torrent with as many seeds as possible.
I don't condone piracy in any way, if something is worth the money you should buy it. But then again, not all torrents are Illegal. - shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I use Torrent Harvester if i am ever looking for anyone torrent, it searches something like 88 sites or something ridiculous like that. http://torrentharvester.awardspace.com/
just for looking at whats up i use Mininova, then piratebay, then torrentspy. - ldavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The Best Of? Hardly true! There are so many untapped illegal resources for movies, mp3 and apps out there. All you have do is make a quick search in google: 'blog download music rapidshare' and bingo...u have found all the stuff ull ever need and wanted...
- jimi1337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Wetzilla:
Try this Stylish script out; it does a nice job of cleaning up TSpy.
As for the categories, well, hopefully they'll fix their own mistake eventually.
http://userstyles.org/style/show/183 - noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"Great article"? No, it's spam, for reasons "Annotated" gives in his comment below (shame it's currently near the end).
The fact that the first site on the list is clearly useless (and for sale) shows that the blog is either intentionally spamming this crap, or just plain incompetent. I chose the "spam" option when burying this garbage; you can make up your own minds. - Raveren, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I use Bit Che for my torrent searching, clean, safe, fast convenient, 18 sites searched by default plus a lot of ones that require registering (at the sites that are being searched) try it! Oh it's free, no crap attatched.
http://www.convivea.com/product.php?id=2 - oxyrubber, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3It's DOWN. All the caches liked to by duggmirror.com cached the page after it was Digg-abused. Use the tinyurl link above.
Boo: Forgive me for being a grammar-nazi, but the 1st paragraph is just plain annoying. This guy sounds like a teenager. - aproxia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As long as there is money to be made, there will be people willing to break the laws to make it.
Impose rules and regulations against companies such as Napster in the US, and their counterparts will sprout up in the safe havens of overseas countries that US courts can't reach.
So what can be done to stem the proliferation of copyright infringement? Who cares, just enjoy the free ***** in the "piracy of your own home". - theLured, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@wetzilla
I found the ads on torrentspy annoying too. if you get adblock plus and filterset.g for firefox it will help to remove most of the ads. to remove the rest go into adblocks preferences and a the filter
http://www.torrentspy.com/staticFrame.asp?*
this takes most of the other ads off the page.
I like to use torrentspy, isohunt and piratebay. I also want to try convivea, but windows only. Anyone know something similar for linux, im too lazy to us wine. - growingbrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My PC got infected by SpyWare when I visisted packetnews.com. Anyone else had the same problem?
- matthall28, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Mirror
http://tinyurl.com/tpf9z - youserials, on 05/16/2008, -0/+0missing there serial number database to get any software you want. http://www.youserials.com
- 3478512690, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For everyone who think Torrentspy is good, I tried it before. It's pretty good, except for the fact that there's porn ads places. Everything else is nice...
- Kitarist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1nice post
- DoubtfulSalmon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I wonder if it's legal for Visa and Mastercard to deny them service though?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2If it isn't truly illegal, Can you actually say that you're compensating the artist buying a track for 4 cents?
