Maybe this isn't off topic, but as I am noticing more and more websites either getting taken down, or taking themselves down out of fear of being taken down(megaupload vs filesonic), I wonder if there is a safe place for the developers in these forums to host their content? I mean, this is pre-SOPA..
Yes, quite a bit of what we share on XDA is knowledge, so I know the site won't be totally effected.. but with websites that I'm sure some devs have been using going offline, I have a feeling this is going to have an effect in a bigger way.
Thoughts? Opinions? Please no flaming.. I believe this is a legit concern. Just tonight I tried to find 3 different legitimate downloads that were all hosted on sites that no longer work- I see 404 errors in many of our futures..

Well man, I woke up today earlier to download some stuffs from filesonic but what the hell! Its been disabled sharing!

The most worrisome part of this is that the US is extending it's imperial grasp into nations outside the bounds of the domestic legislation that is looking to empower these draconian actions. It's not as though the management of megaupload were terrorists, perpetrators of genocide or repeat offenders of violent crimes. And yet, they were extradited. The greatest threat to Americans and, others in the Western world are US corporations and elected officials. Osama was WAY less dangerous than these people.

Filesonic has serious problem now... i am very displeased.

This is getting ridiculous, a bunch of sites including uploaded.to and filesonic have limited functionality after the megaupload scare Honestly wth

Lol wut...
I was downloading some hentai and suddenly FileSonic went to the darkside...
I was like "Fu(k!"

Where for art thou, DragonRipper ?

We'll probably have to end up torrenting our ROMs and junk if worst come to worst.

Its a joke what SOPA is going to impose on the internet and the file sharing people
But I know that if its "my own" content then I think that I will be hosting it on my own server .... stuff them

Torrents, nothing illegal about torrents

They know alotta people use file sharing for legit reasons aswell. Piracy is a issue for them but its copout to gain more control over people & profits. Just because u dl something doesnt mean it was an actual lose. Its been plenty threads online where people have said the album/movie isnt even worth the bandwidth. With the net ur not forced to listen or watch the same ol **** ova & ova. They dont want more successful indepenant artist in movies nor music like tyler perry,strange music,etc creating competion.

Lol, so in Poland they are signing ACTA (similar to US's SOPA) today, and tis is the website of the Central Anticorruption Bureau. lol http://biuro-gov.cba.pl/

DO NOT USE ISOHUNT or TORRENTS2HELL

Hey Everyone!
I Just poped in to let all the torrent users out here know not to use ISOHUNT as they have negotiated a deal with the MPAA and RIAA to submit all of their server data, including all members info and ipaddress's. It is also said that Torrents2Hell will be secretly doing the same both while staying in full operation. ---BEWARE!
Happy Downloading All!
P.S To All Forum Mods... This is not a spam I am just sending out a warning to fellow downloaders. More information can be found about this on Digg but i will not post a link due to forum rules.
Forum Poster V2
Yeah, it's true! You can use my site instead: myBittorrent.com! It's one of the few legitimate sites!
It's foolish to use ANY public torrent trackers/sites... If you don't know of a private one to join, it would be a better idea not to bother if you want to be safe.
This is spam and a deliberate attempt by a disgruntled ex member of our site (DERZ) to slander and defame our name. There is absolutely no truth to the matter regarding Torrents2Hell.com. I challenge the poster to bring forward even the slightest of proof regarding these ridiculous claims.
The op's post was made using a forum bot and has been spread far and wide over the internet in many many forums. I request for the moderators of this forum remove the thread as it tarnishes our name for absolutely no reason. Mods have my email so please feel free to email me if you have any further questions. Members wanting to add this member to there PG list can pm me at Torrents2Hell for there Ip address. We are not the first torrent site to be attacked by this twerp so all webmasters should be wary of this sort of activity.
Thankyou,
CaptnRon.
Admin - Torrents2hell.com
Bram Cohen always said that he never understood why public torrents were used to distibute pirated warez as all IPs are logged. If you use public torrents, you shouldn't be surprised if you get a knock on the door. It might not happen, but if and when it does, man, we'll all be right behind you I'm sure.
Remember, winners don't use warez.

lol good to know Im glad I stopped using them 3-4 weeks ago!
is this spam or fact?
I smell spam b/c this post has been made at various other boards.
Screw them, without the key my file server is a terrabyte of pure random numbers.
I am looking forward to buying a drive for my laptop with transparent hardware based encryption, it would make no difference who knock on the door.
I hate the RIAA/MPAA and their goons. Whenever I torrent, no mater what it is I am flooded with "safenet" etc trying to slow me down. They do not care if the file has no copyright of theirs they just do it to everyone on that tracker. I am currently getting a Chinese tv series that was free to air and has nothing to do with hollywood but they still bombard me.
Maybe we should write some software to target their connections and get 10 million users to distribute an attack on them the way they do to us.
hah, that would be pretty funny actually..if we spammed the hell out of them. You know something like that would make the news. Either way, torrentspy is now shut down to US customers ...
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.

After being a mod on Torrents2hell i can confirm that they DO sell your info, but i do not know about isohunt, but you don't have to join that site to get the torrents anyway.

Before you read any further down in this thread, look HERE.
Imagine that! Apple is LITERALLY in denial. They're blaming the USERS for Apples ignorance in the Mobile Device World. When will the Apple users learn that their devices ARE HUGE PILES OF CRAP!?.. AND ACTUALLY ADMIT IT!?!?!?! FAIL.
Here's the Reality: *When Apple tells users not to hold their device as they see comfortably fit is the day that the sheep get prodded once more.. and all the sheep go back into their state of denial, following the trend of IDIOTS around the world who actually continue paying for Apples Stupidity. Apple has never been #1 in the world for anything besides failure, and that shall never change.
[*And hey, that happened TODAY... run along little mindless sheep... go back to your Apple Tree and cry]
Smart Choice: Buy something that doesn't have a FRUIT LOGO ON IT!!! And they day you do that is the day you'll look in the mirror and laugh at the previous you for falling for an over-budgeted advertising scheme and following the rest of the sheep. Forget Apple and you'll be human again, not an ignorant waste of [male mating juice].
God help all Apple users around the world, allow them to lose the blinding curtain of stupidity that floods their vision. And allow them to once-again think for themselves.
There, I feel better.
What are your thoughts on this issue? And be honest...
[At Staff: If this thread is simply TOO much, feel free to delete it. I just thought it was time for Apple Fans to step into reality.]
Agent Zach
I've been reading your posts for sometime now and in "some" occasions don't really approve or side with your opinions but this time...buddy...right in the nose.
I'm still in awe about the way Apple does business, taking advantage of people just because they are the company that once revolutionized the computer industry with personal computers. It’s like buying a cell phone from Fidel Castro using Hugo Chavez cell company…a marriage made to match.
Just like sheep I tells ya, sheep!!
I was shocked a flaw this big gets through product testing, and then they tell you not to hold it that way? That's it? A flaw that doesn't allow you to use the phone as a phone is a HUGE problem, and Apple won't acknowledge it.
Of course they won't. Why take the blame when they can blame at&t some more.
After reading some reviews, etc.. it seems even the WiFi loses signal when held in hand.
And I'm sure at&t isn't logged into every router in the world... or are they? [We already know Google was once. ]
It's just another fail strategy by the reincarnated Adolf Hitler {Zhe Fuhrer} [Steve Jobs].
if you dont like apple products then thats your problem why do you want the ppl to stop using apple???its a personal choice...not your choice....
All-in-all, I don't want people to stop using their Apple products, I just want them to stop lying to their friends, family, and even THEMSELVES.
Besides, when someone walks into my home with an Apple product, it makes me feel better about about my device, knowing that it works the way it should and they I want it to. Apples devices, on the other hand, work the way Apple wants them to, not how the user wants them to...
are you envy of your friends iphone dropping signals? theres an app for that! lol

[POLL] - How much would you ask for giving up internet for the rest of your life?

That´s the question, what´s the value of internet in your life?. Remember that in exchange of the money amount that you ask for, you completely give up to the whole internet, not only the www. No more forums (like XDA), no more Skype, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, Twitter, Facebook, online games, email, and all the new stuff that may appear in the next years.

It'd have to be a lot, it's like giving up friends that you only talk to on the Internet
However, I chose the last one because with that much you could re invent the Internet, and call it someth else so it's not the Internet but your allowed on it

No no no, not allowed to hire people to go on the internet for you. And all the [email protected]#ES that will chill out with you will probably give you a sexual disease, and you won´t have internet to see what happens.
Dude, you're making the rules up. I'm the King of OT. I make the rules. And when I say jump, you say what colour.
Now back to the question at hand, if I can make anything I wish come true, shooting stars will turn to airplanes.
Besides, how did you know all them [email protected]+C#35 around me gots STDs? That'll be quite an achievement for these jailbait virgins.
Actually, the question (at least in my case) should be reversed.
What would be a fair price that I would have to pay to be weaned off the Internet. My Internet addiction as an adult has become far worse that what my television addiction was as a child.
The Internet is a very useful tool, but I need to ration it a bit more sparingly.

New Internet instead of fighting ACTA

LET CREATE NEW INTERNET INSTEAD FIGHTING AGAINST ACTA
Guys, I was thinking to do somenthing else.
Laws of the univers support and sustain creation and not fighting. Saint Maria Theresa when she was invited to the meeting against war, she decline saiing that she will attend when a meeting FOR PEACE will be held.
Insead of fighting against ACTA let's create another INTERNET, that will be free form all this bull**** from the beggining.
It will need a little effort, writing new TCP/IP and create a new INTERNET that we can upload and download all that we want because it will be int the bylaws from the beggining.
I am not a software writer, I am a user and a manager. I have ideas.
What it would take to create a new INTERNET, from zero?
In case ACTA prevails we would have to do that anyway!

But they dont think that they are evverybody to. I be afraid of some trojans or somthing else how comes from the goverment because other people can use the vunability too. I want let the internet what it is. Because the rights are availible in Internet too . See Megaupload see emule or kazaa is dissapeard because of that.

This would mean (clearly theoretical) digging the whole earth and making new connections and programing walls of texts, so that it would be completely isolated from the "old" one. Without that, the "cops" might switch between those two, and you'll need billions and billions and billions of dollars to set the whole infrastructure up. Anyway, after some time some a$$holes would reveal all the secrets of the new Internet and law would bite ur ass

Internet Censorship - EMERGENCY ACTION REQUIRED

Please
Watch​Anonymous: Internet Censorship - EMERGENCY ACTION REQUIRED​
THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE CALL TO ACTION! There are two new immediate threats to internet freedom: Obama's Cyber-Security Executive Order and the TPPA. We must mobilize resistance immediately.
Transcript:
Greetings Citizens of the United States and the World.
Emergency Action Required.
We have been valiant thus far in protecting our internet. We stopped both SOPA and CISPA. Then they pushed for the international treaty, ACTA, and the entire world pushed back. But we're not finished yet. There are two more threats that we must unite together again to defeat.
The first is a CISPA like executive order that the White House is considering. In order to pass these bills that Congress has rejected, the Obama administration has taken to the use of Executive Orders so that they may bypass Congress entirely. This is incredibly concerning as the process is very complex for Congress to overturn laws passed this way. The Supreme Court may also declare it unconstitutional, but such incidents are very rare. With enough opposition, we can stop this before it even gets off the ground.
The second, and more immediate threat, is another international treaty. Like ACTA, this treaty has been negotiated in secret. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is so secret that not even the Congressional Committee in charge of such treaties can even see the bill. It is however, viewable by six hundred corporate representatives. All we know is what has been leaked thus far, and it reaches well beyond the scope of simply censoring the internet. It's yet another bill to grant more power to multinational corporations. If this treaty is ratified, the only way it can be altered is through the agreement of every country involved.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has tried to rally the troops: "Don't Let TPP Become the Next ACTA: Contact Your Lawmakers and Demand Transparency!"
...the TPP is being negotiated in secret, and on a fast timetable. We don't know what's in the TPP IP chapter, and that's what worries us. Entertainment industry executives who are members of the Industry Trade Advisory Committee will likely get to see the agreement drafts -- again -- but the rest of us will be kept in the dark unless we speak up now.
And they are not alone in attempting to warn everyone. The Huffington Post, Guardian, ACLU, Examiner, Alternet, Current, Techdirt, DailyKos, Truthout, and many more have all reported on this atrocity. Even members of Congress have introduced legislation due the extreme secrecy of this treaty.
This is an immediate call to action.
Contact your members of Congress, educate your friends and family, create art, videos, and stage protests. Do everything you can to help raise awareness as they plan to push this through before the next election. We have very little time to stop this. Many around the world and a few in the States have been trying to raise awareness. Let us unite once again to protect the very few freedoms we have left!
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive Oppression.
We do not Forget Censorship.
Expect us.

I've always wished the new Anon messages would just simultaneously appear on ALL TVs/monitors, interrupting everything going on and causing people to just stop what they are doing and watch. Like what happens in movies, usually with the antagonist.

Ya, me too!! That would be awesome!! But on the other hand, i think those people, who don't know who Anons are and what they are fighting against and for, will just think of them as some hacker who hacked into the TV stations and well some others will be scared and few others will just LOL.. And If that really happens, we will be very pleased!!:fingers-crossed:
So basically there's 2 things that might happen, that you know nothing about, but there's stuff that you suggest may probably happen.
Sigh. I feel like performing a bit of censorship of my own right now, but I'll restrain myself.
