The simple plain scary fact is every time they knock a system down it only comes back stronger. The simple fact was the idea that started napsters isn't dead, its stronger then ever. If this is the beginning of the end for tpb, then I am sure whatever replaces it will be even more prolific. Anyone remember suprnova...

Decentralized, untraceable, unlitigatable, unrecoverable, unstoppable. This is very hard to take, TPB were at the forefront of file sharing but I cant help but feel this could inspire 10 more services to popup that could be just as popular. Frankly I haven't used TPB for 2 years. Those who know about other means of sharing are probably in the same boat as me and are thinking to themselves " this will stop absolutely nothing". Today I welcome the future of filesharing... Bring on the next generation protocols. Decentralized, untraceable, unlitigatable, unrecoverable, unstoppable.

100 Cry and whine about a torrent site, even though it has been proven that sales are never
affected by downloading.

200 Buy the courts, and influence the judge to grant the RIAA members a hefty, virtually unpayable fine.

300 Haven RIAA owned corporation ready to make an ‘offer’ .

400 Since refusing the offer means financial suicide for the extorted, RIAA member corporations aquire another
potential competitor.

500 Turn acquired property into a wasteland. blaming other still remaining torrent sites for the failure of the
newly purchased ‘legit’ property.

600 GOTO 100

See, this is the crap we're competing with! IF we had spammed the world with more videos and fear of what happens when corps take over and kill sharing/education/freedom/creativity, this would not have happened because the masses would 'get it', not just a small few, and this gaming company would not purchase TPB. We're NOT doing enough to stop this! And people think that we don’t need any more videos to educate?
