    Default BTjunkie 'voluntarily' shuts down

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...?newsfeed=true

    It's not just filehosting websites. The whole internetz are now afraid of that 50 years of jail time. I hope emuparadise doesn't follow this trend.

    I don't use public torrents and haven't for years, but the amount of sites being taken down/shutting down/deleting files is crazy.

    It was one of the most prominent torrent sites. Now other sites will follow suit.

    Their head was on the chopping block and was on the SOPA list of sites the FBI wanted to shut down. The owners and staff decided to not pay millions in fines and toss salads in prison for a few decades after what happened to Megaupload, which was also on that list. It sucks that it's gone but under the circumstances it was inevitable. Not being forced to have gay sex with well endowed black men in prison for decades is a smart decision.

    The following is a DON'T GO TO PRISON public service announcement:

    Easy to say when you're not the one on an FBI hit list facing millions in fines and forced gay sex BBC gang rape in prison for a few decades.

    edit

    Although if the site owners and staff were all homosexual it would just be the millions in fines they're worried about, the forced BBC gang rape in prison every day for a few decades might be paradisiacal to some people.

    Because if you're a homosexual, the idea of being raped instantly appeals to you, right?

    Just like how all women are asking for it.

    is the fbi expecting some sort of domino effect ?? or are they going after every single filesharing and torrent site ??? so many things for me to wonder.

    No, I meant some guys like it rough.

    Some people is not everyone, don't put words in my keyboard. Obviously some people find gang rape in prison paradisaical. Otherwise there would not be repeat offender felons.

    Don't think that those who get gang-raped in prison actually have their say regarding that matter...

    But honestly, the filehosters/torrent sites should stop behaving like sissies just because ONE site has been taken down, and from what it seems, the feds mainly were able to arrest them because they were as stupid as having servers in the USA (not very smart) + doing money laundry (doubt they would've been able to actually shut them down completely if it weren't for this... and them being not very discreet about knowing of what they hosted)

    Instead of being scared and give up, they should rather learn from that matter and not make the same mistakes... bunch'o'pussies

    Don' worry, it won't hurt... that much!
