LokiTorrent Shut Down
2005-02-11 14:52:57
Well it looks like the MPAA has shut the site down with a court order. If you goto the lokitorrent home page you will see a MPAA Notice stating...You can click but you can't hide.
There are websites that provide legal downloads. This is not one of them.
This website has been permanently shut down by court order because it facilitates the illegal downloading of copyrighted motion pictures. The illegal downloading of motion pictures robs thousands of honest, hard-working people of their livelihood, and stifles creativity. Illegally downloading movies from sites such as these without proper authorization violates the law, is theft, and is not anonymous. Stealing movies leaves a trail. The only way not to get caught is to stop.
One topic that is been brought up by alot of poeple is regarding the money($30k) poeple donated to fight this. Where has it gone?
This list is not meant to be an absolute. Instead, it has been developed to give those seeking alternatives to the now closed LokiTorrent.com some choices. I hope this list will lead to debate, and posting of other good alternatives. Enjoy!
