Seems like Usenet was starting to gain popularity...all this will do is speed up the adoption rate.

Why do they close their sites? They should just come to Spain. Everyone knows is legal over here (to list links).

i know everyone has heard this before:
if you heard something on the radio you would RECORD IT
if you saw something on tv, you would RECORD IT
if you wanted something that your friend had, you would BORROW IT, and maybe RECORD IT.

No doubt the entertainment industry will spin this as a victory for copyright holders
They'll probobly forget completely that there are still other sites and say something like it was so easy to use....
Half the people I know didn't know about/use torrents till stuff about it being a free way to get music came on the telly.

Heh, usenet has always been popular for pirating files long before p2p clients were available. In the old days you had a newsgroup and used ftp servers mainly to share files before Napster came along. Its funny how the old becomes new again :)

The site isn't illegal .. that one has already been tried and failed.. it stays up and operational.
All this court case has done is make a mockery of any kind of evidence and due process... The actual charge is related to uploading content through the tracker by the individuals.. and when they couldn't make that stick they invented something else... helping other people to do something...
Right... next time a kid dies in a knife related incident lets sue the shop where the knife was bought and send the members of the board and the manager of the group of companies to prison shall we? Or somebody dies in a bank job.. and a car is used in the getaway.. lets sue the state for building roads and ford for making the car.. because they both assisted in the crime.
