I am not surprised but to little to late.
I am sorry to say italy period has the largest rate of piracy. I dont know of anyone buying legit there if you cannot hack it to run illegal stuff they dont buy it there.
And just because you shut down onw site doesn't mean another wont become popular.

What really pisses me off is that the whole Bittorrent concept IS, WAS, and ALWAYS WILL BE a 'loop hole' of the copyright law. It's decentralized and 'trackers' aren't actual files.
For once in my lifetime, something has been created that circumvents ALL laws regarding the possession of "someone else's things".
But this is big brother throwin' his weight around.......and I'd like to either kick big brother's ass or just shoot him and put him out of his misery.

Watch it twice.
Very interesting video, have not seen the cop's one yet, but will be doing so momentarily.

DVDBack23, the article title is incorrect. The Italian Pirate Bay is http://labaia.org/
Colombo-BT.org is unaffiliated with The Pirate Bay.
