Go tell me that when your internet provider will give you a limited number (wich you'll have to individualy pay for) of websites you can go on

oh and also, NEVER google a torrent ^^ The odds of you getting virus is like 90%

Buying them?

I've always used megaupload and rapidshare for my stuff.

While I'm very disappointed that TPB sold themselves out to (for lack of a better word) a bunch of legal schmucks, I really only used it for downloading the stuff I couldn't find on a DDL forum. So it's not going to be a major loss for me, only for those with slow internet who don't benefit from DDL forums.

I do think TPB could have worked this out a little better. Obviously, they didn't want to be in the center of heat any longer, which is why they sold, but even if they had to sell it to a company with different beliefs than them (compare the article OP posted with this one on TPB's blog if you haven't already), they could have made off with ten times as much as they got.

On the bright side, eight million bucks should really help out with Piratpartiet, and from there, all we can do is watch and hope, I guess. :/

Yeah, nothing's going to happen to TPB. They're essentially just making it harder for courts to shut them down due to the new model being implemented.

Apparently they plan to change it so you earn money for hosting legal files.

What bix said is what I heard.

Anyways, I guess we'll have to wait for The Video Bay then.

In any case, TPB wasn't that great of a tracker in the first place. It's large and public, but its actual quality isn't that high. Private trackers (or even semi-private like Demonoid) are where you really should be looking for stuff.
