We don't have a DVD player that works with all our discs, some copy prevention systems screw it up. So i download the movies.

The torrent search site I used was closed, turns out Google works just as well (possibly better) with all the meta-data needed being hosted on Google servers (ie via "cache").

People have been extradited from UK to USA for giving the same information you can get from a Google search. It's mind blowing that we still want any of the companies that support that status quo to still exist.

We need places like TPB to pressure for and raise issues of over-reach in copyright because the governments are refusing to stand up to media conglomerates (arguably for selfish financial reasons).
