Did a particular torrent site that is very popular for TVshows just go down forvever?
Hi,
Has anyone noticed that a site that rhymes with bt efset just went down? I heard rumours that they closed down because of the MPAA. I thought TV shows were legal, it would be comparable to taping shows. Anyone got any info?
Thanks!Last edited by snplow; May 12th, 2005 at 10:30 PM.

yeah, I just found that site now long ago and it's already shut down. Thankfully I haven't missed any of my TV shows lately.

dang. I missed most of my tv shows the last 3 weeks or so too. I relied on them to catch up on them. Looks like I can't now.
I would think downloading TV shows would be ok. If not, you could just as easily say a PVR is the same thing. Capturing the show and watching it later.

Why doesn't anybody in Canada give me the chance to pay for a channel that airs Real Time with Bill Maher

Would it not be on HBO? Don't we get all the HBO channels in Canada?

It's not the same thing because YOU would have to do the capturing. Downloading is not the same. Originally Posted by Macross_Freek

May 13th, 2005 01:27 AM #9You're right it's not the same. But I'll end up watching the show either way. I guess if the site was shut down for legal reasons the excuse that not everyone has TV could be used? Originally Posted by henryh

Yes it is illegal to download TV shows.
The reason being, probably among others, downloading TV shows, you don't watch commercials. Also, sometimes I download Pimp My Ride (haha) but I don't subscribe to MTV. Reply With Quote

MPAA targets TV download sites
Continuing its war on Internet file-swapping sites, the Motion Picture Association of America said Thursday that it has filed lawsuits against a half-dozen hubs for TV show trading.
The trade association said that piracy of TV programming is growing quickly online, and that shows are as important to protect as big-budget films. This is the first legal action from the group that has focused most heavily on TV content.
"Every television series depends on other markets (such as) syndication and international sales to earn back the enormous investment required to produce the comedies and dramas we all enjoy," MPAA Chief Executive Officer Dan Glickman said in a statement. "Those markets are substantially hurt when that content is stolen."
The latest round of suits retains a focus on BitTorrent technology, which has been widely used online to distribute movies and films.
The suits are focused on the sites that serve as traffic directors for BitTorrent swaps, rather than on individual computer users uploading and downloading content. The MPAA also has sued individuals, but has not said how many people have been targeted.
The six sites sued Thursday include ShunTV, Zonatracker, Btefnet, Scifi-Classics, CDDVDHeaven and Bragginrights._______________
