A Legend Called - aXXo

    hello, just wondering whether torrent uploaders like aXXo makes money out of uploading movies? The name aXXo has become a legend now; a mystery as well. I have heard that he is a teenager and he does this just of his passion. i just love the quality of his uploads.


    aXXo is the Internet alias of an individual allegedly harassed by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for copyright infringement. aXXo became popular for converting commercial DVD movies into media files that are then uploaded on the Internet for free download. The resulting files are easily distributed via the Internet and can be viewed on a personal computer.

    aXXo's identity is not publicly known so as to make it difficult for authorities to track it down. A number of individuals have claimed to be, or had their name attached to, aXXo.
    In a purported interview of a person claiming to be aXXo, he describes himself as a single individual who has been ripping DVDs since he was a teenager. It has been suggested that the MPAA is waiting for aXXo to reach the age of 18 to more effectively prosecute him than if he were a minor

    How would he make money? He doesn't have a website, just uploads his movies to other sites.

    I haven't heard of him until today. I doubt he would make money out of uploading these movies, if he did and got caught from the MPAA, he would have to pay it all back in damages.

    With all dude respect, aXXo has to be the worst "re-encoder" out there. His name cool and very easily remembered, and that is what made him who he is. However, the quality of his releases is garbage.

    Really? Maybe I haven't got an eye for detail when it comes to DVD quality. I actually think his releases are pretty good!

    His release are by far the some of the worst out there... The quality doesn't even reach 1000kbs most of the time. As a matter of fact, if I want to watch a movie that I missed in a movie theater, I might as well download it in Bluray or HD DVD. :p

    His rips are the best out there for the size. You could go dl the bluray or HD DVD but thats plenty of gigs worth of space for a single movie and hours and hours of dling.

    The quality of his 700mb vids are the best I have seen.

    ramk, i am pretty sure he doesnt

    and i also believe its not even a person, I can say many rippers are referred as axxo, so its more like a title in my view

    I think that alot of the people that claim to be Axxo are just trying to get attention. Axxo wouldn't want to be publically known because what they are doing is illegal. Also, I've downloaded alot of movies by Axxo and I think the quality is great. It may not be up there with the picture quality of Blu-Ray, but the file sizes are much smaller and can be downloaded in a fraction of the time.
