or was LMAO, this is a bit crazy. Hopefully it is just too much traffic for a while and not something else. I think there users just jumped like 20,000.

Remember that episode of Family Guy where Peter tries to record the NFL game but he doesn't have the written consent of both the NFL and Fox?

Yea... it's true that it's illegal to record stuff off TV. Bleh.

I wonder if it applies to public access though...

'tis a shame that Suprnova is gone though. A wonderful BT place that will be missed.
 
[quote name='HeadRusch']*sigh*....now where am I gonna find the rest of the Venture Bros episodes??[/quote]

you can get them off of mIRC. takes longer but it's well worth it.
 
[quote name='Medium_Pimpin']Noone uses Peergaurdian?

It's stopped the RIAA and MPAA from scanning my hd hundreds of times.[/quote]

I heard Peerguardian will not cover you 100%, you could still get caught.
 
[quote name='CappyCobra']TVTorrents.net is gone! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
No more HDTV shows for the Philips DVR642 :(.

Curse you MPAA![/quote]

They are not gone, just going thru some problems not related to suprnova/tb problems. They will be back according to #tvtorrents on #efnet mIRC.



Also, i never said peergaurdian would protect you 100% but it's definately going to help more than nothing. Condoms don't always hold together either.
 
I figure as long as I stay away from movies, and music, especially new mainstream stuff the RIAA and MPAA won't give 2 licks of shit about what I do. I highly doubt SEGA is going to start suing folks for d/ling abandoned Saturn and DC games.

Yes, it is better than nothing.
 
[quote name='SOSTrooper']Awww I missed last week's Desperate Housewives.... :([/quote]
http://www.btefnet.net/ or http://www.tv-swarm.com/

Both great TV sites. Suprnova will be missed but mostly it just listed links to other sites. The sites are still up, it just takes a few more button clicks. TVTorrents.net has been having troubles for a while now. I wouldn't be surprised that is just a hosting problem at this point.
 
[quote name='Medium_Pimpin'][quote name='Free Artest']Can someone hook a brotha up with a link to this peer guardian thing, I wanna check it out[/quote]

Sure:

http://www.methlabs.org/

Thats the real name. Drugs are bad mmmmkayy[/quote]

thanks, it's appreciated!
 
[quote name='slimpip'][quote name='greendj27'][quote name='slimpip']Yea I knew that whole thing about the IP addresses but I don't think they can do much with an Ip address. Wouldn't they have to contact the ISP to get your personal information? I know that alot of ISP's have privacy policies that won't allow divulging of personal info without substantial evidence. And scanning a hard drive without someone's knowledge has to be illegal without a search warrant.

Anyway I really don't think the RIAA or MPAA is concerned with downloaders as much as they are with the people who host the files, who leak the files, and who sell them for profit.[/quote]

If that is the case, then why are there people who have been caught downloading mp3's being prosecuted?[/quote]


I don't know :/ But, I'm hoping someone who is more knowledgeable about the topic steps in and enlightens us. :D[/quote]

No one's actually been prosecuted, as in charged criminally for using P2P. The RIAA has been filing civil suits, settling out of court, and playing to the media that they "prosecuted." The reason they can do this is that kazaa and it's ilk are sharing programs and these people have big folders full of songs that they are sharing with others. Therefore they're uploading as well as downloading. It's not illegal for them to see what you have with no warrant when you use those networks because they're looking at your shared folder which you have made publically available. If you opt not to share, so no one can download things from you, I believe you're safe. Also. as far as BT goes, I beileve you need to have the game/movie/show etc. in a usable form to be in the wrong legally speaking. I read somewhere that having for example, an archived (winrar'd etc.) movie or game image becomes a problem when you burn it to media or when you unarchive it or otherwise make it usable on your PC. This does not apply to uploading, but then again, with BT your only upping random pieces.

Hey Zero you have my old monkey icon. Rock on!

And I didn't know it was illegal to record off the TV. I mean, to record and sell it yeah, but just for personal use? What about radio? I used to tape songs as a kid back before the days of mp3's.

Yup. Both Illegal.
 
When tapes (remember these kids?) first came out the RIAA (or some equivalent) was screaming about those and how it was going to ruin the music industry. They claimed because they could be easily duplicated and were small and easy to transport, that would lead to increased piracy and result in musicians becoming bankrupt. So.... 25 years later and the millionaires are still safe with their bags of money. Funny how these things sorta seem to blow over..... You think these guys would learn.

Yes i know this case is different. Yes i know it's easier to DL movies than to copy tapes, and Yes i know there are millions more people doing it today. I'm just drawing up a similar case for all to see.

It is amazing the lengths to which companies/organizations will go to protect the rich. I guarantee you if musicials only made $5.15/hour and their songs were being stolen, no one would do anything about it.
 
Personally, I hated that site. The anime was impossible to find (good quality and subbed, not dubbed), and all the movies were in a foreign language IF they worked.

Boxtorrents will be going down any day as well I would imagine. THAT will be a shame.
 
Ok WTF? I install peerguardian and it won't let me access THIS site (amongst many others) while it's running? What the hell good is it then? I don't typically DL stuff and then just walk away until it's done. I want to be able to surf around the net while it's going. Any help?
 
I love how the guys complaining this site being down are the same ones who attack the people who ask about backups...hypocrisy is beautiful.

Oh yeah, and this site has been dying for 2 months now, have the links haven’t worked in 2-5 months now.

i use protowall, it's free and it does the job. how's peerguardian work for you, and is it free?


*disregard* i checked it out for myself, think i'm gonna dump protowall for this, looks sweet and seems to block more IP's too
 
This is truly a sad time for all of us who miss tv shows when they air and rely on bt for getting them. Thanks for all the great suprnova replacement sites though, they are working well so far.

Yeah, it uses up a bit o proccessing power currently, but when 2.0 comes out that should be reduced drastically.
 
[quote name='Jarrett']Well I don't have the CD in the first place so....[/quote]

haha exactly.

now hes going to say "EXACTLY U R STEELING", or some homosexual remark.

We've all heard this discussion many many many times... so why dont we talk about suprnova shutting down and any other sites that are? instead of who's right and wrong.
 
The announcement is the development of a new P2P-ish program involving trackers and seeders and leechers and etcetcetc.. duck, because there's about to be a LOT of shit to hit the fan.
 
I think its great that supernova.org is dead, you sit and bitch about piracy all day then go home and download copyrighted material on bittorrent. Not all of you but most do. If you want something just go out an buy it or import it. 90% of the stuff on bittorrent is copyrighted anyways. so just deal with it.
