I guess it won't be long till torrentreactor and bi-torrent get shut down.

I've actually found 3 other large-ish sites (since LokiTorrent/Suprnova/Torrentbits ate it) that offer what they had, and more. The MPAA, RIAA, and whoever else are fighting an extremely uphill battle, imo.

Plus, the shutting down of these sites really wasn't legal. None of the offending files, part or in whole were on the afformentioned sites' webspaces. That's the way BT works. Come on, shutting down mere trackers is way too invasive. Either way, I suppose since they don't have the time or whatever go to after every individual user that used LokiTorrent's tracker, logic would dictate that you shut down LokiTorrent itself to stem the tide of distribution. (Right. Lol.)

My two cents.

The whole MPAA takeover of lokiorrent was a fake by lokitorrents webmaster to take the $32,000 in donations hed accumulated and run.

Sorry Avder, a slashdotter proved that the article was wrong, and the MPAA really did sue Lokitorrent in Dallas court. You need a login to view the docket.
