Do not use Isohunt or Torrents2hell

[torrwarn4]

Hey Everyone!

I Just poped in to let all the torrent users out here know not to use ISOHUNT as they have negotiated a deal with the MPAA and RIAA to submit all of their server data, including all members info and ipaddress's. It is also said that Torrents2Hell will be secretly doing the same both while staying in full operation. ---BEWARE!

Happy Downloading All! :D


P.S To All Forum Mods... This is not a spam I am just sending out a warning to fellow downloaders. More information can be found about this on Digg but i will not post a link due to forum rules.

Thanks for that info.

If one is doing something online that one does not want to be identified as doing, then logic dictates that s/he should not be doing it.

Piracy is illegal. If one is caught pirating, tough cookies. Take the hit for it.

Notice his link, Forum Poster V2. That allows simultaneous posting to hundreds of online forums with a single account and a single post, apparently including ours.

Yeah, that.

That particular poster won't be following up on it.

What is it with 13 to 25 yr. old little shits and their downloading crusade? I guess its about 'sticking it to the man' or some such noble cause. Then, like this spammer child, he believes himself to be the equivalent of Paul Revere riding around on horseback warning all us 'fellow downloaders' about how to not get caught. What does he want? An attaboy?

How about a fuk you, instead.

This generation has so rationalized illegal content raping that now they've woven a complete narrative of their own 'truth'. A new kind of moral fabrication, that even particle board can become strong if enough elmer's are poured into the mix, the conscience becomes anything you want it to be.

It started in 2000 with Sean Fanning, the Napster bitch and then its morphed to Bearshare, then Limewire, then Groekster(which got spanked) then bit.torrent, then Chinese sites offshore etc. etc.

And the unlaid masses just keep rolling with it.

Bottom line? This generation prefers the delivery system over the content. They prefer tech over art to the point where 'the art' becomes meaningless, which it will over time once disincentivized ad-nil.

Remove the profits, remove the tnt and tits, fire the super models and then turn content into homegrown cells of grassroot, average man musings. It might work, for awhile. But content would then change into democratic spillage lacking any filters.

But, before that kind of shit erupts, the geeks need to keep stealing from the giants and I think that's what this really is. This guy who spammed here is attempting to empower davids against goliaths and that is the new ethic, or script, the nerd herders are using to change media content. A kind of pixelated French Revolution, ah the romance of it all, or, if you're American, like I said, this guy fancies himself a Paul Revere shouting about 'red coats'.

I get it already. He's never been laid.

Issue I have is a lot of these companies seem very lax about the information they share about you. Its because of these companies these I have to have 2 separate E-mail accounts, 1 for the inevitable junk mail, and the other for trusted sources. They may only be submitting your information for the purpose of catching info pirates, at least thats what they will say, but all it takes is some little dips**t who wants to make an extra buck to submit all that gathered info to an online advertising company, and next thing you know, you have to explain to a random family member why people think they need to send you information on "male enhancement" (I was 16 I think when I got the first piece of junk mail like this... my Ma was a bit "curious").

Bottom line is what I do online is my business, who I let know what I do should be my decision alone, and not part of some obscure 20 page EULA. If the companies that host these download programs aren't going to filter what people put up, then they should be held accountable for every instance where it happens. Just because a driver choses to ignore the fact that he may be carrying something illegal, doesn't mean he'll be held any less accountable for it when the police pull him over. The internet should be no exception.

To be honest the way the MPAA and RIAA are going about this is horribly stupid. They are busting the drug users (downloaders) over the Dealers (uploaders). It would be much more efficient for them to go after the uploaders and prevent their copyrighted material from appearing on the net in the first place.

Theft has become an honorable profession on the Net. The zit-poppers defend piracy as though it were some sort of noble quest. And the stupid little shits are too clueless to realize that when they take away the profits of the producers of the "music", they take away the incentive to produce more. So eventually they'll find themselves with nothing to steal, and they'll whine and wail, "Why aren't they releasing any more stuff?"

One lame-ass "argument" that I've heard frequently: "Well, people have ALWAYS been making copies of music for themselves and their friends, so what's wrong with my doing it?" They are without exception utterly clueless about the subject.

Yes, people have taped off of the radio or copied records and cassettes for many years. HOWEVER ... until the advent of computers and digital music, the copies were analog tape recording, and the quality suffered drastically on the second or third generation. It's the nature of analog recordings. A copy will never be equal to the original, even with expensive equipment.

Ever watch a second- or third-generation VHS tape?

Therefore, there was no wholesale piracy going on. And then came the computer era. Now, one person can buy a CD, rip it to a lossless format like WMA, post it on the Web and a million people can have a copy identical to the original. What incentive is there to buy a CD when a little thief can burn one that is a perfect replica of the one on the store shelves?

Granted, most music is "shared" in the MP3 format, which is not identical to the original. But, without perfect hearing and a multi-kilobuck sound system, the difference between an MP3 and a lossless WMA is pretty much undetectable. And every copy of the MP3 is identical to the original rip. There is no quality deterioration over generations.

Question: what incentive is there for a company to produce CDs when they'll sell a few and have their products distributed free on the Net by the "Piracy is kewl!" assholes?

And now they're ripping DVDs and distributing them over the "torrent" networks. And they wonder why there's a push for unbreachable DRM.

Hmm, maybe I need to start a pro piracy movement for so called artists like Madonna, Britney Spears, and so forth. If the producers don't find profit in it, maybe they'll stop producing that garbage.
