hahahah at the vampire news item lol, and its a shame about mininova, thats pretty much the only torrent site I need to use but oh well, there'll always be more sites and like kaonis92 said, the internet will never be under full control

, Yeah mininova was by far my favorite torrent site. Oh well I guess. I would guess as many others have that they're scared of the legal action. Mininova hasn't been the same since it filtered alot of content before anyways.

Well, there goes one of my only sources for watching Top Gear . WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO HARD TO WATCH THIS SHOW IN AMERICA?!? Mininova was a good site. I'm wondering though if the infringing stuff will come back slowly, or whether this is a permanent removal both now and for the future. I have needs. Don't judge me!

Filesharing will always find a way. It may go back to Usenet style get links from people in a chatroom, but there will always be ways to get what you want. It's just how digital media works, and copyright law will be fighting a losing battle to combat it unless it gets significantly revised to take into account the differences of digital media.
