It's clearly a Computing related post, thus it gets moved into the correct forum.

It's a theft related post, perhaps there's a need for a new forum especially for criminal matters.

Just because a file is distributed by torrented means does not make it bad. Take for example, Lindows, where they are able to distribute files via torrents for a fraction of the cost, and the saving is passed on to the buyer.

it is a legitimate file sharing method. a lot of big companies are using it to distribute software as it cuts there bandwidth costs massively.

the good old tar all users with the same brush ignorance.

I guess you're right. Don't let the majority ruin things for the little guy.

"Legalise file sharing, heroin, cannabis and automatic weapons"

It's my new mantra.

I'm sure they won't mind listing the torrent on their own website. In fact I'm sure all legitimate torrents will do the same. The major film and music publishers might not, but that's up to them.

Ah yes of course, Suprnova is where everyone went to get their legal torrents rather than just off the actual products site! That must have been why they were forced to close....

As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States
of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe.
Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here.
For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.

Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium,
will result in
a) a suit being filed for harassment
b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for
sending frivolous legal threats.

It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ****ing morons, and
that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on
http://www.thepiratebay.org.

Go **** yourself.

Polite as usual,
anakata

Steve.

My eyesight might be a bit affected by the heroin, but I didn't notice Lindows or anything legal in the top ten on that aptly named web site. Anyhow, I'm off to gun down a few kids whilst waiting for my download.
