TorrentSpy is dead to the US =[

Well, my favorite torrent site is gone =[. For you folks that live in the US, and some in the UK, you can't use Torrentspy anymore. Check it out yourself ---> http://torrentspy.com/US_Privacy.asp

You had a good run torrentspy! I'll miss your gravely.

Well, its no wonder considering some of the copyrighted material that has been stolen because of that website.

It's a real shame when people abuse an otherwise great idea.

But I can search for copyrighted material torrented or otherwise through Google, Yahoo, etc. as well can I not? Don't want to devolve into a political debate, but privacy ought to be respected where possible as well... wouldn't like to see the internet split in ways like that.

Guys, I refer you to Rule 9:

NO WAREZ. NO SERIALS. NO CRACKS / CRACKING / ILLEGAL PROGRAMS. Anything that can be used in software piracy or other illegal software activities will result in a ban. Same goes for abusive programs like mailbombers, forum and usenet flooders and email harvesting bots. This also includes unreleased products. Workarounds which comprimise security, bypass password protection, or otherwise go to gain unauthorized access to private data or information is prohibitied. Links provided to locations that offer tutorials or tips for any of these activities are also forbidden.
Given that this thread already violates that rule by discussing methods to pirate software and other copyrighted material, I'm going to have to close it.
