Mininova - Gone Legal! - Polidicks

:siren: MININOVA IS CLEAN NOW - DUN TALK BOUT WAREZ K GAIZ :siren: The torrent site, Mininova, has gone legal! Now only allowing legal torrents. [quote]Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.[/quote] [quote]Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.[/quote] Really suprised at this!

Well damn.

[QUOTE=microsnakey;18584907]Torents are so 2001[/QUOTE] Whats the free alt then?

[QUOTE=^Lacey^;18584889]Its not bad for me I dont pirate but Dr nick seems pissed 0.0 is it because you pirate?[/QUOTE] I'm just surprised to see how fast BitTorrent is becoming less shady. Though I know Demonoid went down due to a server failure.

-snip-

no one is going to use mininova anymore

They eventually go legal and some other illegal torrent site shows up later.

[QUOTE=Dank Dave;18584929]Fuck, now where am I supposed to get music?[/QUOTE] -snip- You cant *shifty eyes*

OP, you might wanna put up a warning about discussing warez.

[QUOTE=lockdown6;18584961]I think it's allowed if that's the topic of the thread? ( as long as you don't post links to torrents )[/QUOTE] Nope, discussion of warez is bannable, regardless.

[QUOTE=Kai-ryuu;18584943]Direct downloads (megaupload and such) off of internet forums :eng101:[/QUOTE] lol no. free user limit and speed cap. for my linux distros

Private trackers ftw then.

Hey guys, i wrote a short MySQL script that removes all illegal torrents on Mininova. Hope they'll use it. [code] DELETE FROM `torrents` WHERE `title` <> '%linux%'; [/code]

Nooooooooo

[QUOTE=Dr Nick;18584974]Nope, discussion of warez is bannable, regardless.[/QUOTE] Subtle warning added

The real pirates have moved on to usenet anyway.

"Kickass Torrents."

Fuck! why did this have to happen?

Mininova was a terrible tracker. So is demonoid. Demonoid is as private as The Pirate Bay.

What the FUCK is going on
