Torrentspy blocks US
« on: September 08, 2007, 09:20:10 PM »
No. Fucking. Way.

I don't know of any news article, so i'll just quote their site:

Quote
Torrentspy Acts to Protect Privacy

Sorry, but because you are located in the USA you cannot use the search features of the Torrentspy.com website.Torrentspy's decision to stop accepting US visitors was NOT compelled by any Court but rather an uncertain legal climate in the US regarding user privacy and an apparent tension between US and European Union privacy laws.

I'm pissed. This is where i got all my torrents from.

Proxy time >_<.

I use isoHunt, and a lot of their torrents come from Torrentspy.

main(){return f(0,0,34,84,2423,26628,72864,98)<putchar(32)>f(0,0,40,125,5809,118995,906750,96)==~putchar(10);}

Isohunt is by far the best site. It indexes all of those sites other people use, so anything on demonoid, torrentspy, and all the rest are on there. Plus, they'll never block IPs.

I tend to use ISOHunt and the pirate bay at the same time.  Pirate bay tends to have some additional selections that ISOHunt lacks, which can help when ISOHunt doesn't have what I want.

Well, to take this to an extreme, people are still gonna murder each other no matter what, so why is "the man" trying to do all in their power to stop it?



That's right, I just compared piracy to murder.

Except of course that pirating music has some positive effects that the RIAA refuses to believe are there... (like you know, learning about bands you've never heard of, or hearing music you'd never pay to buy a CD of before you knew if you liked it...)

We pressed on. Shortly afterwards, we arrived in a poisonous, post-apocalyptic hell - a sprawling, toxic dumping ground stretching for a mile or two. This is the final resting place for your old TV, computer or mobile phone.

Yeah, I stopped using Torrentspy a while back, isohunt just seems to do a better job overall. Although I'd use Demonoid if I had a membership :<
