It's a sad day in Bittorrent land, with the demise of all the major downloading sites.

No explanation has been given for any of the closures, but it's kind of assumed they're running scared from the RIAA and MPAA and their new determination to prosecute sites which distribute Bittorrent files.

Let's not forget that no illegal information is contained on these sites, that Bittorrent is the most efficient way of distributing large files and that it would be remarkably easy to set up a pay service using bittorrent.

Let's also not fail to remember that those two organisations are barely tolerated within the industries they represent and that they have no jurisdiction overseas.

Gits.
