The MPAA is a bunch of over zealous assholes that needs to be shut down.

I would like to know on what legal basis they were able to take control over a third party site. I can see them forcing them to remove content, but to take over the webspace with there own banners?

That would be like the court ordering you to turn over your car because a bumpersticker offended someone.

good point Kal i didnt think of that until you said it... it is rather odd that they would be able to take over the domain... good thing we live in canada

The DMCA is a horrible horrible thing, granting almost dictatorial like powers to entities such as the MPAA...

THanks Bush.

DMCA legislation was introduced into Congress in 1997, with the enactment of the law occurring in 1998

Come on Jew, we all know that it was republican back-benchers who forced the Clinton government to pass the DMCA.

3-tier govenrment system. He still, personally, signed the bloody thing.

If:

Congress = pass
Senate = pass
President = nogo

then the bill would've been shot down. Heck, I can't figure out why he did sign the thing as the Republican majority in Congress probably p!ssed him off to no end. :wink:

Apparently, the whole MPAA thing might have been a scam just to grab donation money and then run:

/. for now. Slimeball-like, but funny. Honestly, what did one expect from someone running a site like this?

That's pretty funny.

I can't believe how much it worked though...apparently he made more than $29,000.

At the time of writing Slyck.com's initial article, Loki Torrent claimed to have raised an impressive $29,290.00 from the p2p community.

So much for honor among thieves, eh?
