lokitorrent GONE

Yes that right, you read the title correctly. lokitorrent is gone.

So what happened?, I hear you all asking. Well it looks like the MPAA has shut the site down with a court order. If you goto the lokitorrent home page you will see a MPAA Notice stating...

There are websites that provide legal downloads. This is not one of them.

This website has been permanently shut down by court order because it facilitates the illegal downloading of copyrighted motion pictures. The illegal downloading of motion pictures robs thousands of honest, hard-working people of their livelihood, and stifles creativity. Illegally downloading movies from sites such as these without proper authorization violates the law, is theft, and is not anonymous. Stealing movies leaves a trail. The only way not to get caught is to stop.


So were does that leave the BitTorrent community? With the recent closure of other sites like SuprNova it looks like the "war" on illegal downloading by the MPAA is becoming more serious compared to the RIAA. With the MPAA targeting sites not users it seems that the message is getting clearer that they are serious.
