Update: We have been contacted by Ira P. Rothken: "I am the lawyer for Isohunt in their litigation against the Major Movie Studios. There is no injunction in the Isohunt case. The parties are still briefing what an injunction, if any, will look like."
In a decision that will likely take down the giant torrent indexer, a judge has ordered IsoHunt to remove all torrents linking to infringing content.

First Pirate Bay, then Mininova, now Isohunt. What the hell is going on here? Now we're left with bad torrent sites. Hopefully one of the owners of these sites stands up and makes a come back. FIGHT THE POWER! :D

Gosh Mininova horrible site now that there's basically NOTHING on it but unknown music artists and strange videos that arent even on Youtube. Pirate bay doesn't do any filtering though, or does it?

this seems like it will be a never-ending battle from both sides. i mean as one or more of these sites get taken down, i seem to find a few new smaller sites that are just the same. peoples technological abilities are improving and its just a matter of time before a technologically skilled person makes the next, great torrent giant.

Funny how most of those big 4 record companies are not even owned by Amerikans; but the US courts want to meddle with a torrent tracker in Europe too. Indeed three of them are located in the three WW-2 Axis countries!
Meanwhile, those Mexican drug cartels are threatening to invade border towns and kill Amerikans who get in their way. You can read all about it at CNN.com or on the Fox News Channel's website. Faced with possible anarchy and a guerilla war; the capitalist pig US regeime worries more about this internnet crap instead...

I wouldn't call iso hunt a good site.. any site that lets anyone upload and doesn't ever require log in to download is full of spam and viruses.. I use it as a last resort... try demonoid or bitsoup if you want a GOOD site....

Why are you crying? ANY country can be investigated as long as they are signed members of Interpol. The faster you get used to that idea the better off you will be. As such it makes no difference where you are, if your country is signed onto Interpol, they can make you rewrite your laws and prosecute you for downloading as well. Oh and BTW, to the arsehole who used the term "Amerika" get over yourself n00b, Interpol is a EUROPEAN idea...not American. Stupid moron!

Oh I wouldn't worry about that by 2030 the USA will be mainly a Latino country, with more Spanish speakers than English.

Typical, go back to work at WB or what ever movie company you work for if you can not make a post without abusing someone.
What they going to do next, shut down Google, Bing and all the others as well as newsgroups. Then sue the manufacturers of computer parts and software for "aiding" the "criminal masterminds that are destroying society as we know it". Lets be real here folks, are they really losing money? Well from the last report I heard no. Their profits are still up and still setting box new office records every year. It's just greed driving this and nothing more. However on the rare occasion their is a legitamate gripe from the producers/directors etc.

I'm STILL waiting for my royalties from my creative commons licensed "copyleft" music which the RIAA (cartel thieving scum) forcibly "collected" on my "behalf" from various radio stations, and now refuse to hand over unless I "sign up" to their corrupt cartel...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/haveyoursay/2...y_laws_str.html
there is a big war coming.. and it won't be the majority of the general public who will lose out.. A commenter says what I have been saying for 3 years now.. "A 6 month boycott of ALL cartel products will soon bring them to heel" .. or must you have your Jedward and your R&B garbage?.. MUST??
By the way.. Boycott means exactly that.. no buying.. no downloading.. don't touch.. treat them with total scorn and just maybe they will get the message. There are plenty of non aligned independent musicians out in the world who don't subscribe to the greed cartel.. come and find us and open your mass media brainwashed eyes and ears for once in your lives and stop being bloody sheep!!

Bluedog, are you really that much of a moronic dumbass or are you really trying hard? ALL countries that sign onto the Interpol agreement agree to allow Interpol to operate in their country under international law as well as change the laws of the country to comply with international agreements. That you ignorant ass is in the agreement that you would know if you bothered to read it. And it is not abuse to call a moron a moron, and when someone intentionally screws with the name of a country just because they dont like the politics of that country, then how can it be abusive when the original idiotic moron was abusive in intentionally screwing it up? People like you who defend twits like that are sorta like the pot calling the kettle black when you whine about it instead of taking the fool to task that first did it. Oh and as for your stupid remark about shutting down Google...the French ALREADY DID!! The French have passed a national law that if ANY internet content infuses or disrupts the "purity of the French Language" then it is banned from coming into France by any means. It is already against the law to even mention the words "hotdog-hamburger-pepsi-coke-french bread-and a host of other words used all over the world today. Dont believe me you sorry fool? Then read it here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...podcasting.html or here http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2003/07/59674 or here http://www.france24.com/en/20100331-fran...french-language
So tell you what, you mouthy little twerp..when you finally grow up and grow a set as well as get a few pubic hairs so you stop showing your ignorance, then and MAYBE then your betters might just listen to what you have to say, until then go back and tell your mommy that both your bottom AND head are filled and need changed.

Never used Isohunt much anyway. Used to love mininova though. Such a shame about Torrentspy, and thepiratebay as well. There are other sites though. There always will be.
Probably shouldn't say this, but it's probably been said somewhere anyway:
Mininova...Mightynova...Hmmm. They look incredibly similar. Wonder why that is LOL!!! ;)

Sadly, it _is_ the elected officials that make the decisions and they are just paid off by the lobbyists of the corporations. So most of them are basically just secretly working for them and only seem to listen every time they are up for re-election.

Idiot, seriously get a life. Your statement argues against itself. Anyways I better things to do with my life than debate irrelivent crap with you. You clearly do not understand statements being made by some people here. Go to bed child and let people continue their conversation.

One of the best ways for customers to force the media industry to maintain reasonable prices is to share products with friends and family. It's perfectly legal and good for heart and soul to watch a film or listen to music with a group of friends. The price of media will determine how readily people will bother to copy manually CDs and DVDs. Circles of aquaintance can be very large! So even if all the sharing sites are taken down, people will simply choose between sharing manually or buying lots of inexpensive media. When availability and price convenience reach the right point people will find it easier to buy than share. Until then the media industry has little choice in the matter! People are not as stupid and greedy as the corporations can be.

Whew Bluedog....seems you got taken to task by a person that seemingly knows more then you. Instead of attacking him like you did, maybe you should have just asked him why he posted that way?

omegaman, I see that mightynova have a pretty bad rap online... do you know why, is it deserved? Suppose I could always go in Sandboxied or under a Linux OS.
Elsewhere, laughing my backside off at the French government's pathetic finger-in-the-dyke policies. What's so pure about a language adapted from Latin and only spoken by 20% of the country until a relatively short time ago? :D
