    Looks like the torrent community is going to be suffering for a little while. Of course it will recover but it sucks to see my two main sites for the past few years get destroyed.

    Anyone want to help someone with 1.7 tb of movies and TV shows by giving them a demonoid invite?

    So now we're down to mainly private trackers like what.cd that won't let anyone join without an invite and complain if your precious MP3 collection isn't high-enough quality?

    No thanks.

    [And on a sidenote, why the heck is that Pulse smartpen getting so much press for a $150 pen that requires $10 packs of paper when you run out? My Logitech IO2 does the same thing for about $40.]

    I think it is totally cool that piracy is rapidly becoming a worse crime than rape, and maybe even murder in the united states.

    Go us!

    Which would be more embarrassing - Going to prison for pirating "The Love Guru," or being raped in prison?

    @Kaiser-Machead: Why in the hell aren't you using AnyDVD (HD)? what kind of geek are you?


    And no, AnyDVD is not a ripper. It's a real-time DVD/BD/HD-DVD reauthoring tool, so you just pop the disc and it gets rid of all the crap, or lets you skip it. For HD-DVD and BD with Java it is a bit more complicated though.
