Re: Mininova.org Limits its activities to content Distribution
That is interesting.
I think we've been living in a "golden age" of piracy.
Some piracy from people determinded to do it is unavoidable, but you can't have a situation where it's mainstream for 'normal' users of content to be getting stuff that's espensive to make, for free, forever.
One of two things sort of has to happen, either quality of content drops as the producers can no longer afford to make product, or, the free services get turned into pay services.

When Pirate Bay goes down, the p2p communities implode. Most people don't realize how most torrents lead right back to Pirate Bay regardless of which site you use.
There will be a recovery of course, but it will be a very long process. Whichever year Pirate Bay is destroyed, it will be one of that year's biggest news stories.
Even private sites? PB's already fucked as they will be probably going to be a pay site at some point.
What's a better option than PB for torrents? I need it.
Are you using it primarily for music or movies? Another alternative is to join one of those forums where the users post a number of media to be downloaded from rapidshare/megaupload links. It takes longer but there's no chance of MPAA/RIAA crap. Tehparadox is a popular one that just requires a signup.
The other alternative is to join a private torrent site. The catch here is that you will have to seed for a while. The benefits are that you'll get access to rare/unheralded/non mainstream stuff and it's a lot less likely to have poisoned torrents.
PM if you want more info.

Pretty surprissed that many people still use torrents in this day and age...

If you want music, just search rapidshare or megaupload ect... via google.
Re: Mininova.org Limits its activities to content Distribution
until they find a way to stop DC++ they won't control anything.
probably mininova, piratebay and others will disappear but history showed us there's always a solution. when napster went down there was audiogalaxy, then kazaa, then dc++, then torrents, then there's always rapidshare, megaupload, yousendit. it's only a matter of time until a new solution comes along and it will take them another decade to find out how to stop it.
