Wow, it made national news?

But anyway, this is no big blow. There were no news reports when several sites i can't name got busted, specifically one of them which got busted and the owner ended up in prison due to something like 1,000+ credit card numbers and charges of massive fraud, yet a lowly, poorly seeded place like suprnova does.

The likes of the **AA (MPAA & RIAA) are hitting the publicity boosters, that's all, they're making no blow to "the scene". They're making a vain attempt at showing people "Yeah! We're cracking down on piracy!" when in truth, the people that make the pirated movies, rip the pirate games, are still entirely at large and entirely unaffected by the events of something such as suprnova being shut down.

Good riddance, suprnova. :)

In related news, looks like Loki is going to try to take on the MPAA now, raising $26k of an estimated $30k to start the 1st month of court fees.

Saw that too, was quite surprised to see the amount of donations too.

But in all honesty, when it comes to sites of this nature, i really wouldn't be surprised if he just took the money and ran. He will lose this case, whilst torrent sites may be somewhat exempt from standard piracy laws, there is no questioning the site's purpose. No amount of "do not download files you don't legally own" disclaimers you put on your site, you know, i know, and whoever runs lokitorrent knows that the site is for piracy, not legitimate filesharing.

For all these websites that are protesting legal filesharing (loki, suprnova, ET, hell, most torrent sites), they're really doing nothing to help the case.

Here's an idea, if you want to promote filesharing and P2P in a good light, how about starting a torrent site which only shares legal files? How about a new P2P protocol which blacklists any copyrighted games, applications and music? Kicking and screaming in court about how "filesharers" are being "persecuted" and are doing "nothing wrong" and then running and promoting a website that allows you to download the latest games, music, applications and porn, will ultimate find any defence you may have laughed out of court.

For FAQ and updates

esuna, the point is in many nations law, it is only deemed piracy if it is done for profit. Suprnova etc etc is a NFP organisation, thus cannot be touched under many nations current piracy laws...

ADDITION:

Ignore some of the anarchaic bias, it is summed up quite nicely here, the problems that prosecutors face:
