That's the attitude everyone gives donations. "Hmm.. seems a bit suspicious." I don't blame you! Hell, look at what happened at ShareReactor, and how people treated SM.

There is a thing called the edit button! =P

Well, it seems like I was completely wrong. They already reached 30,000+. Good luck and long live BitTorrent!

They have now paid for the first month of legal fees and I'm wondering.....Where are the updates of the legal battle.

Thinking toward the legal battle failing wouldn't there be a better way to have spent it (just planning for the future).
with al that money they could buy a server in a country where MPAA can't touch them.

Btw EXEEM will be the salvation (kazaa like torrent sharing system)

---

Is lokitorrent shut down? I hope the site was just hacked, but it looks like the loki is gone.

I am a big fan of torrent sites and I have downloaded the Beta Testing version of Exeem and it seems to be very good. Download the Beta version and see for yourself. DIE MPAA!!!!

Wonder if they got shut down...
Damn the MPAA and there quest for money.

I went to lokitorrent.com and got a "MPAA NOTICE" screen.
Saying that lokitorrent doesn't (or didn't) provide legal downloads and that other sites do.

OFF THE MPAA NOTICE (the ba$tard$) don't deserve to be quoted

"This website has been permanently shut down by court order because it facilitates the illegal downloading of copyrighted motion pictures. The illegal downloading of motion pictures robs thousands of honest, hard-working people of their livelihood, and stifles creativity. Illegally downloading movies from sites such as these without proper authorization violates the law, is theft, and is not anonymous. Stealing movies leaves a trail. The only way not to get caught is to stop."

I sincerely hope that Lokitorrent was not shut down and that it's all a joke. I honestly don't know how the MPAA could nab lokitorrent's URL rights so quickly, and without a single word to the rest of the world, but if it's happened...that's it >_<. Tracker is down too.

well, it wasn't quick, and word got out.

If i find a link i will show you guys the complaint the Money Pulling Asses Associated

LOL, what an acronym :) I made it up myself.

You guys might wanna check out this Register article on it:

there gone ;(

---

I just hope the dip$h*^'s don't go after everyone who used LokiTorrent.

I read an article (if i find the link i will post it) that said the MPAA has logs from LokiTorrent.com and may indivdually sue people who used the site :0

---

I can't believe that guy narced. Well, the smart thing to do is get rid of ur current ip and renew it. THat is, if u used loki.

lol, I changed ISPs and haven't used LokiTorrent sense.

---

Just wonderin', could I bum a new IP if I just turn off / turn on my modem again?

Actually, no you have to subscribe to a muliple IP account from your ISP or change ISPs to get a new IP address.

downloading torrent files is not illegal.
it may be illegal to download the material that the torrent refers to, but just because you got a torrent from a site, does not mean that you downloaded the item. if it was done off site, the mpaa has no knowledge of who done what.

your ip provider can trace who used what ip address when, so you may not be as safe as you think.

it is strange that the MPAA have put a message screen up. previous sites have just closed down completly... could this be a stunt by Loki to persuade people to donate to the fight against the MPAA/RIAA?
we will have to wait and see.
if they have closed, then 2 down and 1000's to go, most not in the MPAA's sphere of bullying.

Hmmm.... well though lokitorrent is gone there is others up as well. yay :)

I think lokitorrent also provided trackers for their files. If they logged the IPs connecting to these, they could easily prove that you downloaded the content.

And I think placing the message screen makes sense from the MPAA's perspective. They are trying to frighten users into stopping our filesharing. It can't be a stunt by Loki 'cause it uses the (http://lokitorrent.com/mpaa.gif ) trademarked MPAA image.

And it isn't just 2. According to the MPAA's press release something like 40 percent have been shut down. Who knows what percentage they are actually aware of? 40% probably isn't accurate, but certainly more than two.

On that note, this is an interesting link too:

The MPAA and RIAA are detestable.
/me spits

Okay, I know this is my third post in a row, but I don't yet know how to edit my posts.

And I found another link which sort of prophesies lokitorrent's shutdown.
