Depends what u are sending.

Bittorrent is perfectly legal, many companies use it to distribute large files. A transfer protocol isn't illegal, its what you are sending.

Yup... And they intermated that the MPAA will go after users, not just the websites. Could just be scare tactics though.

Makes me wonder how long the other sites will last. Maybe they are located overseas.

Re: bittorrent and edonkey sites shutdown

:/

Speaking to somebody about the 'legal fund'...never heard anything of the 'battle' so imo, they've run off with the money too :/

Well we've got the future, snarf-it + exeem if it ever kicks off now it is free from adware.
