Re: bittorrent and edonkey sites shutdown
12 sites taken down, some of the biggest sites have fallen....looks like the MPAA has made a huge impact.

A general call to all P2P-users
As of late the MPA's and RIAA's of the world are claiming that we are robbing them of their rightly earned money and are trying to find ways to legally put and end to it. The scare tactics have been fruitful, it would seem as they keep getting settlements out of court and probably make a profit out of it.
This campaign of theirs, of course, isn't to target and eradicate filesharing as much as an attempt to control the market and where our money goes. Most of us feel that they should very well look into availability and affordable prices instead of claiming higher moral ground. The wealthiest nowadays decide what we shall listen to and watch, using staggering PR campaigns, and most releases are "format" productions, where talent and creativity comes second only to business concept and money.
Ironically, dramatic theatres, opera houses and so on are desperately trying to find an audience among the "common" people, as it's seemed like high-brow, and here we are dealing with a situation where the production companies are working towards a dangerous inaccessibility for regular Joes. It is a natural thing that we want to be able to watch the movies and listen to the music, it has always been and always will be. Hence we turn to filesharing, and/or borrow CD's from our friends and so on.
Availability and affordable prices.
How many has bought a CD, watched a movie that has turned out to be less than satisfactory? How many has felt cheated of a night out at the movies, going there following posters and trailers for a big box-office release that turned out to be one of those "let's save the movie company a few bucks by fooling people into watching this dud during the first weekend"? How many get sick to their stomachs hearing about revenue losses and then be treated to a "Cribs" episode on MTV? The production companies has the audacity to say that we are using people's creativity and talent, without paying for it. Well - guess what - most P2P'ers actually DO BUY THE PRODUCTS THEY LIKE.
We continue to see fantasy figures of what kind of revenues the production companies would have had, weren't it that the products were obtainable online. It's complete and utter nonsense, of course, as they seem to be oblivious to the highly human trait that they sport themselves, are shared by everybody: The Power Of Owning. Everybody wants to own things. Having a pirated copy NEVER exchanges the glory of a movie theatre or having a box bought and paid for, that prides your bookshelves.
And to prove this, a general call out to all that has shared a file, downloaded something from online or think that the prices are outrageous in general, let's send a message to the powers that be.

I tried the home page and then the FAQ

Crossed wires Al, sorry.  I was pointing out that the site don't send the actual file, they host it and provide a link in the email. I think Oinky was hoping the whole 1gig file was sent to that he could use it to jam up someones mailbox! Naughty Oinky.
