Nope. I don’t miss dialup, either!! I got cable internet like two weeks before napster was shutdown.

Yes, Rapidshare is the new p2p… Forget BitTorrent, spend your millions of litigation money on Rapidshare instead.No, really. I’m not trying to distract you or anything… Rapidshare has COMPLETELY taken over P2P… So shut them down and their hydra spawn… Just forget about BT, whatever that old thing is./s

Honestly I can’t find a good replacement. Isohunt is ok but the comments on demonoid alone made it much better. TPB has always been rather crappy imo.

They’re now subpoenaing your IP from digg’s webmasters right now, writing a GUI in Visual Basic, and correllating your username with your torrents.

This is just one of those filler stories, nothing has really changed in p2p… P2P is still strong. The Pirate Bay is not down, Usenet is better than ever.Torrent are very popular, ftp sites are coming back.. Now that there are tools like "Skip Screen" these down loader sites are useful."Direct Connect" DC++ is less used.Portable drive and thumb drives are more used. Some media thugs are trying to get passed a bill to attact p2p.. Calling it some kind of consumer protection act. govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill= … newteevee.com/2009/09/29/limewire-in-the-cr …

Game piracy wasn’t mainstream until the last 5-6 years? That’s funny. I seem to remember widespread piracy of Apple ][ games back in the early eighties.

What’s replacing The Pirate Bay? Private trackers.

Rapidshare and MegaUpload were not the first DDL sites, and hymneforthedead said nothing about them. By "that’s the way it was done" I’m pretty sure he means DDL.
