Iceland’s biggest torrent site gets taken down

oh man, sites disappearing left right and center...... torrent.is may you rest in peace

as long as TPB stands...torrents will be ok

death threats and hate mail. Got some serious pirates up in Iceland.

Agreed maryjayne..........Pirates indeed!! HA HA HA

So what else is there to do in Iceland except..pirate?

Look at volcanoes and threaten politicians?

combine the two.. throw the politicos in the volcanoes.. and then look at them muahahahaha.. but seriously.. Is this really relevant to anything? It was another public tracker that happened to only allow Icelandic IP's.. the use of the term "private tracker" in this context is misleading.

FIGHT THE POWER ICELAND!!!!!!!

As a result of the takedown, the head of the Icelandic equivalent of the MPAA, the SMAIS has received numerous death threats and hate mail.

I don't mind being mischievous about pirating movies and software, but to be militant enough to post hate mail and death threats... yikes.. :)

Yeah..........no doubt. I'm all about looking at volcanoes and threatening politicians ............... and even more so about combining the two. But on a serious note, it's a tad illegal and wrong and if it gets shut down then so be it. It's the way the gears of the clock rotate. Create, take, propagate, shutdown method of propagation,----->create, take, propagate, shutdown method again. Take the lickens and search for another loop hole. It's the whole "I stole it fair and square" mentality.

Do you realise that it is 9% of Icelands population that is affected and probably 33% of computer users.
