I think I would make sure that the relevant logs, info etc. had (largely) disappeared due to an error with a computer, as we all know computers are temperamental devices and very good at loosing data, if I was being hassled by an American court then I think a quick accident with a powerful magnet somewhere very close to the server would be a sensible approach.

There’s sites not located in the grand ole US that hold a proud finger to the MPAA. No worries!

Some of us did pay a small fee based on what we downloaded, and how useful it was. What’s wrong with that? It’s self centred, smug, arrogant comments like yours that will eventually destroy the concept of file sharing. I don’t work for nothing, neither should you, neither should anyone. If can’t see why you think there’s something wrong with paying $10 for the amount of ‘evaluation’ software, videos, and music many of us have taken advantage of. But then again maybe you keep your front door open to allow all comers to watch your TV, make themselves coffee, and maybe even run them home when they’re finished. On the other hand you’re more likely to be a tight-fisted, self-centred prat!

Who care’s if he made a buck or two. Those of us who paid a small fee managed to download a whole load of software/music/videos for evaluation at least. Some video stuff in particular was just too complex to have wasted good money on. I’m happy with what I got out of it, and lookforward to the next ’scam’. We’re not dummies.. we know what we’re doing.. the losers are the ones that pay full price for rubbish software that doesn’t live up to its claims. I, for one, have actually bought the odd retail package to get the updates, manuals, support etc. Roll-On the next ’scam’.

Spoken like the truly ignorant! Since you claim he “narc’d on us”, please explain exactly what he should have done differently. Should he have defied the court-mandated order and gone to jail? Should he have just skipped town and become a fugitive?

However, I do thank you for the laugh. Reading your statement of “he is a narc, and will die…. He better lock his doors and get a shotgun….. we are coming!” made me laugh out loud. Be sure and post pictures of your posse and your rootin’, tootin’ shotguns with which you are coming!

Thanks to the recent addition of the get_peers feature to BT clients, despite the tracker being taken down, people are still able to complete those final downloads. Huzzah for all!

I think somebody in government is trying to make everyone into a criminal. I know *I* don’t have any more respect for the law.

As all of you take cheap hits at Lowkee and pray for his demise, think about what you would do. If you had a *COURT ORDER* requiring you to comply and turn over all related logs and information, would you really resist it and go to jail just to preserve an ideal? Hell no! Each of you would turn it over and that would be the end. But yet you find it so easy to blame Lowkee.

And if you were sued by a multi-billion-dollar consortium, with virtually endless monetary, legal, and political resources, what would you do? Would you spend the $30,000-$40,000 in donations, plus at least another $50,000 of your own money, to pay for the enormous legal expenses involved in fighting the case in court? Or, would you agree to a settlement with the MPAA, pay a fine most likely LARGER than all the donations he collected, and have all of this over with and off your back? The answer is easy — you would pay the settlement and end your troubles. If you are idealistic and say you would fight it, ask yourself if you would be willing to take loans and sell all your posessions, in addition to the donation money, to pay for the extremely expensive legal bills?

Before you judge Lowkee and condemn him for what you, too, would also do in his situation, take the time to consider what’s going on and what you would do if faced with his situation. the answer is obvious…

Hi all, I’ve found myself registering here today as a result of an extensive search trying to find out what has happened to Loki Torrent…. Now I know. Strikes me that the best way to use all that donated cash is to just to set up another site that is (not) Loki torrent. Or is that a cute English anarchist way of looking at it?
I’m a (mature) student studying IT and a fan of P2P networks for all uses. I have recently been investigating the subject of P2P and downloading as part of a study course. We drew a conclusion that P2P file shareing is here to stay, on the increase and unstopable by courts, Hollywood or any of these groups that oppose it and that ilegal shares will only increase untill the Movie/Record companys promote their material on the Internet as llegal downloads at a price which reflects that there are virtually no overheads and no middlemen involved. £1 a track for music is much too expensive! What do the band recieve + a once off studio and production bill to cover? That is the market value of the download. £1 is a back catalogue album, not just one track!
If the big players don’t hurry up then they will get sidelined by the sway of social and market change. Any band or film producer is now free to promote thier own work in this way. How many people would still download illegally if the material was available at the correct price llegaly? However untill the industry catch up with the reality these type of confrontations will probably continue to happen from time to time. Comments?

It is a sad day. Lokitorrent, despite all of their heroing attempts to overthrow the MPAA, lost in court yesterday. Their site was attacked at 12 a.m. GMT by the MPAA, where they placed their antipiracy poster, which is more like a scarlet letter. As a gesture of gratitude to Edward Webber and his legal team, I propose that we boycott the cinemas this weekend. Lokitorrent may have lost their case, but we can still support the memory of the site by simply not going to the MPAA’s movies. Text message your friends, family, and peers. Let them know that we can stop the Association from recieving millions or perhaps billions of dollars over the Valentines weekend. Remember, when ants work together, they can overtake the world.
