Internet-Site taken offline

FRAUENFELD (kapo) Due to the suspicion of breach of copyright and trademark laws the cantonal judicial Inquiry department of Thurgau has taken down an Internet-Site that served as a link platform for filesharing offerings. A process concerning these matters against the 25 year old owner from Frauenfeld is underway.

The Internet-Site located in Frauenfeld was online for about 30 months and last had over 220.000 hits per day bevor it was taken offline by the Thurgau officials. The in search engines toprated site worked as a anchorpoint for links to downloads of copyright and trademark protectet games and movies that were offered on the filesharing network.

After a complaint from several large corporations, represented by the swiss association against piracy, the cantonal judicial inquiry department of Thurgau initiated an investigation, seized the servers in Frauenfeld and had the site taken offline.

The responsible owner, a 25 year old swiss proved to be very cooperative in explaining matters at hand. The inquiries continue and will take some time.

The death of file sharing is nigh

Naah.....Im sure therell be a new site soon.
Question is where to get warez in the meantime.

usenet: always will be the best - no questions

I don't understand why anyone needs anything other than Suprnova for file sharing (music not included), because at this late stage in the file sharing history of the internet, everyone should already have most things they could ever want, and all thats left to download is the new stuff that gets released - which Suprnova always has.

Usenet can suck me pee pee too Forensic, cos you need a decent ISP that supports it fully (my last ISP supported it, but nothing was ever complete). And that usually means going with poor value for money ISPs (BT, NTL, Demon).

claranews - 30 squid/year for 8+days holding binaries and 99% retention, 30gb/month i think it is.

suprnova will get shut down eventually, usenet or irc wont as its been going for many many years.

isp newsgroups are mainly pathetic, ntl was ok for me on cable, but pipex is appaling.

ntl is pretty shite now and tbh newsgroups are a pain in the ass - i want something like suprnova or kazaa where i can search for individual songs - I know that newsgroups etc have search engines, but you can't get individual songs as easily as you can from places like kazaa etc


I'm bored :<

You naughty people and your illegal software and music. You're all going to jail.

can I bring my comp?

No armour allowed, it gets in the way of the bum sex.
