MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) seem to have won a major victory against the file sharing community with TorrentSpy and ISOHunt, both deciding to filter copyrighted content from their search engines. This means that MPAA associated movies and RIAA associated albums will NOT be available in the above mentioned sites. Both sites have stated that they will be using filerights software to automatically filter blocked content. This will definitely be bad news for the vast majority who used to download movies and albums through the above mentioned sites. But is it really all over? We don't think so.   

 

 

Meanwhile Demonoid.com, which is another reputed and reliable private tracker created by an anonymous Yugoslavian (nicknamed 'Deimos'), has also come under fire. Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN has filed a lawsuit against its ISP and Demonoid.com now displays 'hardware crash - offline' message. Although the message indicates hardware problems, it is widely believed that is site is moving to a safe heaven to avoid legal trouble. We can expect the site to be back up within a few days.

TorrentSpy, Demonoid and ISOHunt are not the only bittorrent indexes/trackers out there. But they were among some of the best out there and their change is definitely a big blow for the Bittorrent community. However, there are hundreds of new trackers coming online every month. The largest bit torrent tracker in the world, ThePirateBay, is still online amidst a shitload of lawsuits and legal threats against them. In fact, Brokep from ThePirateBay has flamed filerights.com in his blog and has sworn to keep building sites like TPB and Bay IMG (censor free image sharing site) and to help out some of the newer/smaller trackers.

You can find a comprehensive list of Bit Torrent trackers/indexes here. (in fact the list contains over 250 sites)

Down with MPAA/RIAA and all it's kissass supporters. Go Pirates!

How many times have you been annoyed by some web site which asks you to 'login to read more' ? Here is some good news for you. BugMeNot is an Internet service that provides usernames and passwords to let Internet users bypass mandatory free registration on websites. Started in August 2003 by an anonymous person, it aims to allow Internet users to access websites that have registration walls (for instance, that of The New York Times) without the requirement of compulsory registration. This came in response to the increasing number of websites that request such registration. Many Internet users find this to be an annoyance at best and a potential source of spam e-mail at worst.

Currently BugMeNot has logins for 162679 sites. You can use the service free of charge from this location.

Some cool dude has made an extension for FireFox to make life easier for FireFox users. With the extension installed, you can simply right click a form and gain a username and a password from BugMeNot (provided that BugMeNot datababse has the site indexed).

Download FireFox extension from here.

Those who have downloaded ripped movies off the Internet must be familiar with the name 'aXXo'. aXXo is considered to be a legend in the movie rip scene. Unlike most other underground piracy groups which consists of several members, aXXo releases are ripped by a single person. aXXo movies rips are famous for their high quality, smaller file size (mostly 700MB single CD) , absence of security risks and reliability.

However aXXo's releases have been subject to frequent attacks by anti piracy groups such as MPAA. MPAA is known to upload fake torrents or virus infected files imitating aXXo releases such as this one - dont download its a fake. MPAA is famous for using foul tactics (in other words, they, and everyone who sucks up to them are shit asses) to discourage file sharing over the Internet.

So how can we avoid fake movie torrents which use aXXo's name? Certain torrent sites allow maintaining user accounts for uploaders. You can verify a genuine aXXo release by cheking the uploader name against the following.

These are aXXo's accounts on few torrent sites.

• http://www.torrentbox.com/account-details.php?id=277561
• http://www.mininova.org/user/aXXo
• http://torrentportal.com/account-details.php?id=175429
• On TorrentSpy, his details (uploader details) are- Author: aXXo - Member Since: 12/17/2005

Make sure the torrent is posted by one of the above listed genuine accounts. If it's not, there is a good chance of it being a fake. Additionally, some fake aXXo torrents may require you to download an additional 'w3w player software'. This is a trojan and should never be downloaded into your PC (thanks maddy).

There is a site (nForce) that tracks every genuine torrent release (not only movies) in the scene. Whenever you come across a suspicious torrent, make sure the release (with the release group's name) is listed in nForce. nForce removes fake torrents from list (called 'nuking') pretty quickly. Mind you there is no download facility @ nForce so you'll have to download the file from a torrent site like torrentspy of use a software such as Bit Che.
