TPB has fallen

As most of you have heard from many source TPB has fallen. They have sold their site to a company called "Global Gaming Factory X". I am not sure how it is going to affect the site, as most people love, admire and support the TPB because of their strong attitude towards the anti-copyright cause and not even once moving from their course of action. No matter how many legal threats or DDOS attacks they got. The TPB fan base made all the difference and made them top in among the torrent site and even a position in top 100 Alexa rank.

How this "Global Gaming Factory X" is going to affect the TPB is not sure and many question are going to come to people mind. Few of my questions are

1. Are they going to filter the content of there site?

2. Will they share the user information with Anti piracy organizations?

3. Will they still be reliable as they used to be?

I dont know the answer but in the coming days we will know everything.

Also please note that the acquiring is not yet complete and so there is a chance that it will all go back to the way it used to :)... as i do not wish to see TPB as indexer.. i would rather see it as a state of the art private tracker.. :)

filmmakers are now using torrents :)

As many of you already know or understand the so called illegal downloading of movies through torrents is not actually a problem or threat to the entertainment industry but actually, as business people call it a "new venture ". Here is a documentary filmmaker , who support people uploading his new documentary,Blue Gold"World water wars,to torrent site. He request people who download to consider donating a small amount through his website or buy a DVD.

well as he said he wishes more people would buy his DVD and now as you can see from this blog post i am giving his documentary a free advertising :D and i should also point out that if this documentary wasn't relesed in the torrent site the chances of me watching it is 0%, i saw people downloading it and downloaded it. Now he a got a new fan due to that. Its a really good one, if you ask me.

The site should add some google ads or something like that they would have made good money ;) , i am sure the site is now getting a lot of trafic as there are many sites linking to it now and in IMDB due to torrent popularity ofcousrse

A detailed news about it in torrentfreak

People at the entertainment industry should really consider about this way of making media available to the general public/customers. Torrents can be considered by them as a double edged sword,i agree, but the side that is towards this is blunt and the other one is sharp. It might decrease there sales..... But selling music directly is not the only way to make money. One can sell fan stuff like t shirts, concert tickets,etc and for these products to be sold popularity is a must and torrents are reaching more people kinda a more efficient Internet advertising...... and these so called pirates are not people who don't pay money. actually most are willing to pay they want to try them out first.
