given the amount of bt sites being pulled lately, and the high quality, high profile media that has been very easily distributed to thousands of people causing the maker to be VERY annoyed at losing money, AND the authorities that have been called in....

i have been watching with one eye, the developing situation and wondering will it kill BT.
so it seems that 'the highest quality version EVER' has been released and there are some in the region of 50,000 seeders or something equally ridiculous....
and it seems the file is only at 99%....

what are the chances of it being {ahem} A TRAP!?

is this the time when the industry really strikes back and goes for the individuals who keep the system alive. it seems to me that it has been proved that shutting down a tracker doesnt work, another 2 take its place.

maybe its late. and im a bit tired. but im having a hard time following your post.

It really depends.

Ive been noticing lots of BT sites moving their servers or hosts offshore to evade the feds.

And new sites being born with Invite only access. So only the trustworthy seeders/leechers allowed.

Hate to see BT go down. Its never been easier to grab TV shows that take yonks to get to my county.

translation - high quality version of star wars has appeared. Templar thinks it is a honeypot.

Just use an offshore tracker I would guess.

Hmmm...I just searched and I found the xvid-quality version of "Episode III."

Interesting...

ha.

you are all right of course the original post was a bit oblique, but given the TOS here and the right-wingers who scream ban!!! anytime someone even nods towards a hot BT torrent, i was being quite careful

yes, honeypot it seems.

it would indeed be a shame to see BT go for the above mentioned reason: TV shows.
