LokiTorrent was a popular spot to get movies and they even
put up a fight against the recent crackdown, raising thousands in a legal defense fund. Today, it seems the MPAA won, forcing the owner to shut down. That's understandable and I'm not surprised, but they've gone a bit further than I expected, turning the site into a big scary ad against filesharing and warning that you're next. Even worse, the old owner is
turning the logs over to the MPAA, for them to go after folks.

Suprnova.org is back... with a vengeance?! It was just last week when suprnova.org, the most popular site online for finding BitTorrent downloads,
shut down their site. The MPAA and RIAA crowed, but it appears the celebration was a tad premature.
Suprnova's new site mentions
a special announcement tomorrow at 9 PM GMT on
NovaStream.org radio. Rumors suggest that it will introduce
Exeem, a decentralized, BitTorrent-driven software client that turns every user into a tracker, removing the requirement for a centralized site such as suprnova, while providing users with easy searchability, the
swarming powers of BitTorrent, and a network that is far harder to shut down.
