I'm more shocked that the TPB owners have decided to sell the site tbh. Maybe they've gotten bored of holding a middle finger up at 'The Man', or maybe they've decided that it's no longer worth running the risk. I personally don't use TPB - there's plenty of better torrent sites out there - but as the flagship of torrent sites, the fate of TPB affects us all in one way or another. So, what are your thoughts?

There are a dozen other torrent sites out there--it's no big loss. I really don't think it affects too much. It took several years to prosecute these guys--by the time they go after another major player, I'll probably be 30 or something. WANT TO ROLL HIM AROUND A BIT? NO, NO, IT'S OKAY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE, AFTER ALL. ROLLY, ROLLY...WHEE! ROLLY ROLLY!

Also, this whole thing is as silly as if SciFi channel changed themselves into SyFy channel to distance themselves from the only demographic which has put up with them enough to watch their program--OH WAIT. WANT TO ROLL HIM AROUND A BIT? NO, NO, IT'S OKAY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE, AFTER ALL. ROLLY, ROLLY...WHEE! ROLLY ROLLY!

That's almost as retarded as a company trying to make money off torrents. Shit, this here comparison done come full circle. Though I must admit that I'm impressed that the money will go to "Internet projects other than downloading sites." I have an "internet project" that needs funding. It involves sleeping with Natalie Portman.

I'm envisioning an Attack of the Clones parody which will be easy since her inability to act will be easily confused with actual parodical satire. The name of course will be Whore Wars: Attack of the Clunts. WANT TO ROLL HIM AROUND A BIT? NO, NO, IT'S OKAY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE, AFTER ALL. ROLLY, ROLLY...WHEE! ROLLY ROLLY!
