Yay for the DoJ... Like they didn't know this was going on? Surprisingly enough, like the pirating community didn't see this coming either.

If the sites are within the boarders of the US, they are complete & total dumbasses, especially this day & age where complete anonymity isn't as sure as it may have been. Off shore sites, good luck getting them shut down Yates & Breuer.

You guys at the DoJ may think that 'bit' with Demonoid was a hit of Viagra or some new strain of synthetic 'dick of death' aphrodisiac, but I'm still under the impression that was a fluke.

Why, you may say? Most folks will juxtapose the Pirate Bay for one, but sharing & pirating shouldn't be said in the same sentence. It would really be interesting to make sure these guys know the difference.

Probably the same way they've been doing it, by setting up 'entrapment' servers & screaming 'criminal' if you even float by it. I would say anyone that even remotely knows anything about P2P, bit torrents or the likes has had their IP address probably come up on a federal blotter somewhere.
