Has anyone managed to confirm what happened to the donations?

Did Lowkee cut a deal weeks in advance (maybe after his attempt to sell) and *sold* logs to the MPAA?

Most people have nothing to worry about anyway I should think, the MPAA would only focus its resources on the prolific seeders first and then work its way down. Casual filesharers are probably at the bottom of the list if they’re even on it.

However, people need to remember what was said on Slyck about this. To me all of these people sticking up for Lowkee are:

a) In on the deal
or
b) woefully optimistic
or
c) not very bright.

P2Pnet and ISOhunt is the only news source that has dared to raise the spectre of foul play. The others should be viewed with a,b,c in mind.

Now, *just* say that the case was closed by an agreement with the MPAA and Lowkee, why aren’t the terms of this published?

If there is nothing to hide then we should be able to see the terms. So far all I can see is a load of sychophants trying to justify lying to people about where their money has gone.

Why didn’t he tell people he was going to cave in advance? Why so sudden? Why all the secrecy? Was the Sedo.com business about getting a valuation of the site, for horsetrading with the MPAA?

Discussing this is not doing the MPAA a favor. If anything publishing the terms of the court order helps others fight in the future!

Every American who is even remotely into P2P or any other computer activity for that matter should donate five dollars to the Electronic Freedom Foundation. This is a wonderful organization that works to protect the Constitutional rights of the people in cyberspace. http://www.eff.org $5.00 from 10% of the polulation would equal $150,000,000 dollars. That would be enough for a lot of lawyer!

Of course everyone who votes for a “Republicrat” should look for an alternative party such as http://www.lp.org or http://www.constitutionparty.com . This way, we could make a real difference.

why not start a found. every one of the millions of p2p army donates one dollar to a global fund. not for a particular site, just for the general cause. and then we can see where the battle can lead.

IF the MPAA did pay off Lokitorrent, would that mean that there is something infact that someone with enough money could battle them over and win?

So how does this get the individual user off of the hook? If theyve got the info, why does it matter if it was court ordered or not?

This smelled like a private settlement from the beginning. There was no precedent for the MPAA obtaining a such a heavy-handed court order by due process in such a short time.
