So after years of 'faithful' dependence on the good developers at mininova, the long arm of the law has struck and struck hard. The threat of court action on torrent hosting sites are causing them to drop like tin cans on farm fence.We saw it earlier in the year with TPB but as they always do, they bounced back and are bigger and badder than ever. Torrents are flying off the pages faster with every court case - infamy at its best.
Mininova was not so lucky. Without going into details (mainly because I don't understand them!) they have been culled to a copyright free file sharing site only even though they never actually hosted any illegal material. These days even a minor contribution to the distribution of copyrighted material is squashed in million dollar lawsuits and drowned in reams of paperwork that would make Reflex shareholders grin from ear to ear.
However, as the saying goes, there IS light at the end of this tunnel. Teenage dipshits all around the globe will find it harder to get their mitts on the latest Twilight movie and possibly grow a couple more brain cells before they're dissolved in onscreen dribble. Perhaps a better title would have been 'Woman No!'. I did have to chuckle when I read a review of it today:
"I felt like gouging my eyes out with scorpions, and that was only after the first ten minutes."
