p2pnet.net News:- Looks like the corporate software cartels have jumped on the shut ‘em down bandwaggon much favoured by the MPAA. Yesterday, their BSA succeeded in getting the popular WarezArmy.org, featuring music, movies and apps, taken offline.

“warezarmy.org does not store any files listed on its server,” it used to say. “We just index other sites contents!”

Now it’s gone.

“It was threatened many times,” Pinkblah told p2pnet. “But it was never shut down.”

The BSA is owned by the likes of Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, Avid, Bentley Systems (see email), Borland, CNC Software/Mastercam, Internet Security Systems, Macromedia, McAfee, Microsoft, PTC, SolidWorks, Sybase, Symantec, The MathWorks, and UGS.

It is to the software industry what the RIAA and MPAA are to the entertainment cartels.

Below is a pic of the BSA email.
