I'm finding less time to write long writeups, so I'm going to start "microblogging" on Twitter instead since a lot of our news is commentary on external links relevant to isoHunt and BitTorrent anyways. This way I can post short comments on interesting news much quicker, and you can tweet your heart out on individual links.

Announcements and news not found anywhere else will still be posted as longer posts here on isoHunt frontpage, particular to developments on isoHunt and BitTorrent/P2P generally.

Also, since we find the new Facebook Pages to be better layout and public, we are moving our old Facebook group to our new Facebook page. Check it out and be a fan!

And here's some local (to us) news on me demonstrating my Jedi mind tricks: This is not the CD you are looking for.

Gary you are awesome and I honestly think you have a legitimate argument. Whatever the outcome, your actions will have long lasting effects on entire industries and communities which span the globe and will change, in one way or another, some of the fundamental ideas involving the use of media and the internet.

Posted in your article.

I think its shameful what they are doing. The number of cases out there where totally innocent people are being taken to the cleaners is just wrong.

And even the people who did pirate music and movies, every last one of them would have bought it if it was reasonably priced and available in their geographical locale.

The corperations and greedy suits don't have enough power and millions and as far as they go they will always want more.

If that guy from Pirate Bay does do his 1 year jail time, he's just going to come out a more worse person. In America we seem to love to "warehouse" people. Our jails are 2-4x over maximum, filled with curruption and violence along with inhumane treatment, then they let the people out into the streets with their new learned knowledge and connection and mental capacity.

That seems to be the answer to everything. Someone does soemthing"bad" just throw them in jail as if it solves the problem. Without compassion and understanding, society is going down the drain. Copyright laws have needed to be redone but it will never happen because the corperations have teams of lawyers and money that we can't fight. The IRAA pertends to protects artists but instead just attempts to overprotect the corperations dollars.
