Hey guys, one of the best torrent sites on the net, lokitorrent just went down. Now it just displays the message that:
"There are websites that provide legal downloads. This is not one of them.
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."
That was the best one left. They even shut down lokitorrents forums...
ahhh so tempting, yet now I am somewhat paranoid... but... free... arggg, you are causing me such heartache

Torrents are too over-rated and popular. That's the one thing the MPAA is watching like a hawk. Lokitorrent is gone and they even tried to put up a fight in court.
Won't tell you what program I use though . Let's just say It won't be taken down for a long time.
"The MPAA's efforts to date have resulted in a 40 percent reduction in the number of servers that continue to operate. One such site that will no longer exist is LokiTorrentone of the largest BitTorrent host servers. The operator of that site, Edward Webber, agreed to not only pay a substantial settlement with even greater financial penalties for any further such actions, but by Court Order must provide the MPAA with access to and copies of all logs and server data related to his illegal BitTorrent activities, which will provide a roadmap to others who have used LokiTorrent to engage in illegal activities."
