LokiTorrent shut down.

Sundance_3 - Feb 13, 2005

			For those who don't know, LokiTorrent was shutdown... the other day by the MPAA. The guy had to pay close to $1 Million and turn over the IP logs for what I would assume was recent activity on the site.

			STUPID MPAA

			It seems that a site called DownloadMuch... has also been shutdown just recently, but I don't exactly feel sorry for the guys considering that used a pay-for-membership scheme. P2PNet.net is also reporting that www.brandnewmovies.com..., www.moviepros.net..., www.downloadmuch.com... (other payment sites) are likely in the sights of the MPAA.

I saw the message on the main page, but this makes no sense, I didn't think they went to court over this yet. Unless the MPAA is some kind of totalitarian ruler over the exchange of data.

I've never been into DLing movies.

I just get Blockbuster's Netflix-type service for $15 a month and then rip my DVDs and send them back the same day.

I've gotten around 20 DVDs this month easily.

Blockbuster's online site is great, I'll be watching all the movies on my long list of movies to see by the end of next month. All the video stores around me are garbage, you can't find anything.
