Warez Sitemaster Sees Jail Time!

i am soo happy to see this post.... because of these damn warez i have to suffer a big lost last year because they had my programs out for free.... so its really a good news for me..... i hope all hosting company close down these warez site and stop hosting them... i hope Argentina should take action on these warez hosting companies also.... and there webmasters....

 

It won't matter too much, most of the big time sites are owned in countries where these rules mean nothing.

 

They will start closing them one by one very soon. I know 1 huge torrents site hosted offshore that got closed recently - http://www.torrentspy.com

 

Chances are this person was involved in what is known as a Topsite, or involved in racing.
These types are very common to go down, as they're physically hosting the files - and in most cases are affiliated with the piracy groups themselves.
Most private Topsite's can host anywhere from 5TB, all the way up to 50TB of data.

Torrents are also a completely different game, as a lot of things go unheard behind closed doors (ie, ThePirateBay's multiple networks).
In cases such as TV-Links, a lot more than linking to torrents was present.

That aside, websites such as warez forums are not in danger.
"phpexpert" needs a smack in the mouth, as he's completely biased, and provides no facts regarding his comments.
As the owner of one of the larger forums, I can safely say no significant threat has been presented to me, apart from numerous small time threats attempting to scare me.
As long as you're hosted in an appropriate way, and keep your identity safe, you're under no threat. ;-)

 

With illegal sites this is the problem when your site become popular you will get notice from everywhere to shut the site

 

30 months is way too harsh

 

So .. what is your website URL ?

 

What's it to you?
So you can enter my site to complain some more?

If I wished for my site to be known as relating to me, it'd be in my profile and I'd gladly post it; but unfortunately for you, I don't.

 

wow. this is sad. but think paying fine will be better. but not a huge amount though. i pity him.
