Default Re: U.S. District Court Rules Against TorrentSpy

I decided to see what the fuss was all about and I signed up on pirate bay and on empornium and I downloaded some DVDs or tried to...

a dvd 9 will take DAYS download rates of more than 150k/s were rare

more than 200k didnt seem to exist even on a well seeded title.

then I went on usent and got the same titles on dvd 9 in a couple of hours (I have 8mb/s cable)

thats where the real threat is.

Im wondering if anyone who downloads say "Pirates" off a torrent site would have ever bought it anyway.....hardly worth the damn wait....

Now usenet...theres a whole different story there.
