Re: Giant server seized in raid on file-sharing site
No disrespect, but i think this is bullshit designed to put people off P2P downloading.
65 Terrabytes, because i would store that much illegal material in the same place when i can afford to move my illegal websites to any country in the world in a matter of weeks.

Rubbish. and even if they did, the material will be back on the internets, or is hosted somewhere else anyway, no big loss.

This makes me happy. The Pirate Bay blows my mind. I can't believe people steal movies etc and then give donations to the pirate bay. Just buy the freaking movie!

And what's that frowny head supposed to be? Is that the massive profits made by the people running popular piracy sites which comes from advertisements and donations? That's still $$$.
