Mininova went legal. No more warez. http://torrentfreak.com/mininova-traffic-plummets-after-going-legal-091205/
Yep, another good torrent site gone. Although torrents now are just a way of asking for trouble anyway. I know so many people who have had letters from their ISP. They are cracking down big time
i dont torrent anymore.. thats so 3 years ago... anyway i was wondering why i could find nothing on mininova but at least you know everything on there is legal so if you get an ISP letter you can flame them.
^ not really..... maybe you guys aren't downloading the right torrents... DDL are always better but sometimes it's much easier finding the torrent than it is finding a working DDL of the file you want.
no not just torrents, the new rule coming to Canada is that if the ISP is suspecting you are downlowning illegal content, that will warn you 3-5 times, if you don't coop, then you get banned for using your Internet for 1 year, if it happens again, then you will get banned from subscribing to any Internet (that could be country-wide) and the worse is this law doesn't have to go the the gov't to get approved
Well hopefully that won't come to the UK any time soon -unsure I don't download that much anyway - running out of hard drive space -lol
Akki are you in Sweden ?? That is probably the best place to be :kekekegay:. Anyway all torrents (there is no right torrent, its likely that any torrents containing copyrighted material will be tracked) are public. Since IP addresses are revealed, its evidence your downloading copyrighted material so thats how these letters come. Its probably the anti p2p companies that does this so not entirely ISPs fault, they help [insert company here] track filesharers. There are also some instances that some of these companies actually made fake torrents with fake trackers just to nail people. This is why I mentioned before you need precautions (especially if you are downloading illegal material) and research before jumping in and clicking that download button gfight1 Personally I think there is no best method, both has its strong and weak points but with huge files I rather torrents. DDL is probably more safer than torrents but not fool proof (there have been a few reports of people getting letters true or not but definately not as much as torrents =p) as your downloading off the hosts servers that are SSL encrypted. The host may log what files your IP accessed but won't share the infomation with 3rd parties due to privacy laws. The 3 strike plan has been proposed in the UK but ISPs have rejected it and there is also this (Mandelson is just awesome =D). I'm no law expert but this is against our privacy (human rights) since ISPs can't log what we actually do every time we surf the net. Side note: surprised mininova removed the anime section since most animes aren't entirely illegal.
I doubt they will really enforce it. You would be pretty hard pressed nowadays to find someone who doesn't pirate stuff, regardless of how much. Banning people from using their internet is just bad business.
I think they lost my account because I can`t log in anymore. Whatever, IPtorrents has been pretty good to me.
stupid anti piracy bureau, they're are the ones to blame that mininova "went legal" . it was a great site !
source said they don't need to enforce it (it will get implemented as a policy for the ISP to follow) no matter customers like it or not...beside there is no way if the ISP said u are dl'n illegal content and u go ahead and sue them...u will probably get your ass in jail and pay big bucks in the end... well like in a corp environment u wouldn't see pirating anything via the networks and when u get a speeding ticket for running the red light, would u sue the auto insurance corp for releasing your address so the police department can send you the speeding ticket and fine you? what is really human rights when the goverment has your ID # and is registered to almost anything you lived in the country?
