Go ahead, say it all you like :basil , regardless of copyrighted content and who's accessing it I am pissed at the MPAA taking out Suprnova.org. I don't watch much tv or movies, but I used suprnova for a lot of other bittorrent stuff. I don't think technically they were doing anything illegal either, they weren't hosting any copyrighted content. :rant :rant

Last week, the Motion Picture Association of America launched a series of worldwide legal actions, aimed at people who ran the infrastructure for BitTorrent networks being used to distribute movies and other copyrighted materials without permission.
The MPAA's actions have put pressure on a short list of large Web sites that had served as hubs for the BitTorrent community and that had operated for months or even years. Many of those sites have now vanished almost overnight, including the SuprNova.org site that was by far the most popular gathering point for the community, serving more than a million people a day, according to one academic study.
