First post edited please PM sannerman if you want the details

Reason is that there is copyrighted material on there and the way MPAA is goin after everyone with lawsuits then I don't want Rebreather World to be seen to condone piracy and on that note pretty please don't discuss pirated materials on here!

Quote:

BitTorrent has many legitimate uses, but the media moguls see it as a piracy tool of unprecendented threat to the entertainment industry. Other tools similar to BitTorrent, such as eDonkey, are similarly targeted.

Early this week, Dutch, Finnish, and French authorities raided two well-known sites specializing in helping users find illegal BitTorrent and eDonkey content to download. Reports conflict, but it appears that as many as 30 people have been detained and charged with various crimes. The MPAA claims this is but the first wave of such prosecutions.

Also worth mentioning the MPAA and others are also litigating against individuals who share copyrighted materials on these bit torrent networks.
