I wouldn't be so quick to assume that - what stops them from doing so?

I think there was some incident with Oink or something in the past?

why only torrent sites?? there's more file upload sites and more better than torrent if you don't want to wait for weeks in downloading a file

It's because torrents are where the majority of piracy is coming from.  What's "better" for pirates is irrelevant (though with large torrent sites, there's generally a wide selection due to the size of the community).

Interesting about Rapidshare/Megaupload/other sharing sites though...

Ahh, but with filesharing sites, there is a disclaimer and if anyone reports the links, they get removed straight away

What confounds me is how warez sites arent targeted, when they have large quantities of links
Even if you didnt want to take the site down, you could quite easily just extract their links and report them all...

Taking down torrent sites like mininova is not going to stop piracy...  There is a lot of money to be made and someone will find a way to make it... with the advance in technology it becomes easier..

Couldn't they adapt the same policy for torrent sites?  Ie, the admin be (or at least pretend to) super ignorant...
I really don't think that policy can really protect much - authorities can always target them (for example, ask for records of users who have uploaded).  It does work better than for a torrent site though, since the staff would really have to be super ignorant to ignore what's being posted on the front page (though there may be ways around that).

I think torrent sites are generally a lot more popular than warez sites, which is why the effort is being placed on the former.
Auto-reporting links is very interesting - in fact, I probably would expect competing site owners to try and do it to their competitors, if authorities didn't do it...

i think that torrent sites are easier to use and that is why they are so popular...  The warez sites are harder to navigate around and scare users...  
Users will learn how to get these movies and software and e books from wares or the ohter ways..   Wee all know that it is out there......   Just google what you want....  and you get!  Wee learn how to use these sites and become more knowledgeable...  

If i need something i just fudgeing GOOGLE it...  

That is why it is pointless to attack mininova...   monitor it and then control..

EULA!!!! ha ha +++ Don't make me laugh..

most warez site actually need users to register or pay.. not so with torrent site... another big difference

This made me lol

Quote:Nothing makes a peer-to-peer user more happy than website of RIAA hacked by an unknown script kiddie. That’s exactly what happened 2 or 3 days ago, when Reddit published an extremely long SQL code which almost shut down the whole RIAA server. Meanwhile, another people tried the weakenesses in the code and discovered a way to display and alter the whole SQL database. As a result, RIAA’s Press Releases section showed a link to ThePirateBay instead of any content for some time.



There were more errors and security bugs in their presentation, for example an XSS bug which can be used to 'borrow' cookies and information. After 2 days, RIAA finally completely fixed the vulnerabilities and the website seems to be protected now. Anyway, this issue just shown this bloody organization is full of legal actions and lawsuing, but they somehow forget to secure their website. Besides, who wouldn’t want a TPB logo at their site?

Lol Yoyo that made me lol too.
