Mac's parents were killed in a tragic accident involving latex, a goat, and a Canadian tour bus. He has vowed to reap vengeance on all message boards with Canuck posters.
As to suprnova... well that just sucks.

There's one or two trackers up. Most are dropping like flies.

Suprnova was pulled by it's owners as well as many many other torrent sites. MPAA is breathing down their necks.

Actually Nash, you and AWMac have something in common.
In one case, something was illegal, in the other case, it was legal.
I don't think AWMac has been quite right since his experience.

He caught teh ghey?

"NO MORE BIT-TORRENT TRACKER
Re: Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. v. Does 1-10
Dear Operator of Crazymazey.kicks-ass.org:
We are counsel to the Motion Picture Association and its members, Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., Paramount Pictures Corporation, and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (“MPAA member studios”). The MPAA member studios are the owners and exclusive licensees of a significant number of copyrights in and to various motion pictures and television shows.
We are writing to inform you that we have recently filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin against the individuals responsible for operating the website, crazymazey.kicks-ass.org at 205.218.65.46, and the BitTorrent Tracker, crazymazey.kicks-ass.org:6666/announce.php at 205.218.65.46 for copyright infringement. Because we do not currently know the names of all of the individuals responsible for operating this website and BitTorrent tracker, we have initially filed the suit against “Does 1 - 10.” Once we have obtained information identifying the individuals responsible for operating the website and BitTorrent tracker, we intend to amend the suit to substitute the individuals’ true names.
In the interim, we demand that you immediately cease and desist from using any website or BitTorrent tracker to directly or indirectly cause, contribute to, enable, facilitate, induce, encourage, and/or participate in the infringement of MPAA member studios’ copyrighted works. In particular, we are requesting that you immediately stop distributing torrents that correspond to copyrighted works owned by the MPAA members, stop tracking copyrighted works owned by the MPAA members, and stop all other activities that contribute to infringement. The attached list is a representative sample of copyrighted works owned by the MPAA members which you are infringing. The list is not intended to suggest that the identified infringements are the only ones occurring on your website and your tracker or are the only ones that you must immediately address.
We also request that you preserve all of the evidence that you have in your custody, possession or control relating to any website on which torrent files are distributed or any BitTorrent tracker. This includes all electronic logs, webpages, e-mails and financial records, as well as any peer-to-peer downloads you have in your possession. Failure to maintain this evidence could result in severe sanctions.
We are providing this notice based on our good faith belief that the distribution and reproduction of motion pictures owned by the MPAA members are not authorized by the copyright owners, their agents or the law. This notification is accurate and under penalty of perjury, we are authorized to act on behalf of the owners of the exclusive rights that are being infringed.
If you are interested in attempting to resolve this suit without any further litigation, please feel free to contact me at XXXXXXXXXX.
Sincerely,
Matthew J. Oppenheim
I emailed the MPAA lawyer and told him the tracker had be closed and this is the reply i got
Dear Mr. Chris;
We received your December 21, 2004 e-mail in which you indicated that you had taken the Crazey Mazey BitTorrent tracker and torrent site offline. We appreciate your quickly responding to our Notice Letter.
As you know, on December 14, 2004 we filed a suit, Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. v. Does 1 - 10 (case number 04-cv-1192), in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The suit asserts claims of copyright infringement against the unknown operator(s) of the Crazey Mazey tracker and torrent site. Though we have not yet named you personally as a Defendant; we intend to do so in the future. The suit ultimately seeks as relief both damages and an injunction. Under U.S. copyright law, an infringer can be liable for up to $30,000 per copyrighted work infringed, and that number increases to $150,000 if the infringement is deemed to be "willful."
If you are interested in discussing how we might settle the claims without further litigation, we would be willing to do so. I can be reached at xxxxxxxxx
Sincerely,
Matt Oppenheim"

How can they file suits against the trackers?
Not a piece of their copyrighted material goes through the tracker...

Wouldn't that be a breach of 5th amendment?

they don't have to "win" the suits all they have to do is file them and that is usually enough. Intimidation, threat of prison and fines, and legal fees are enough for most small timers to close their sites.
I'm surpised they havn't gone after usenet yet.

Arghh .. it worked when I posted it. Not now.
Back to eMule perhaps ... or Google episode-name + bittorrent for each download.

Kazaa and bittorrent are the kiddies of the net, usenet is the hardcore, go after usenet and you declare war on the guys with some nasty skills.
