So i just read an article on techspot about pirate bay and the law suite against them, http://www.techspot.com/news/33785-pirate-bay-trial-ends-verdict-due-in-april.html If they find them guilty I see a grim future of torrent sites, what about you?

But some torrent sites are not located in US so US copyright laws don't affect them.

But good news nonetheless.

True. Very true, but what then if they start forcing ISP's to enforce this? I am thinking out the box i doubt this will happen.

It's kind of hard for them to argue what their intent was when they were actually brazen enough to call the site The Pirate Bay. :lol:

They make no secret of it. Go read their mail, it's hilarious the threats they get from record companies and film studios.

This will happen. I remember supernova was big until it got shut down or something then pirate bay took it's place. if it goes down then some other rising site will take on all the pirate bay users.
