I thought it was kind of funny that Homeland Security is seizing domains. This site did not actually host any uploads or downloads, it was merely a search engine that enabled people to find them.

If that's the case, they should seize Google too as it also may be used to search out for copyrighted material.

Scribd is another...
I wonder how long Scribd would get away with it...

We have to eliminate the forces of the Dark Side that are stinking up our government from top to bottom, front to back, and side to side, and anywhere that misses as well.

I mean we must clean up this mess. It’s beyond out of control.

This is why they don’t have time to go after illegal aliens. They are busy surfing the net looking for websites to “seize”.

Well as long as it keeps their friends in Hollywierd happy the gubernment will use any resource it wants to, whether it is related or not. Meanwhile terrorists can waltz across your southern border without an issue, good thing Homeland Security is making sure you are safe from torrents :/

Are their terrorists at Torrent Finder?

Maybe this Patriot Act is not so patriotic after all.

Torrentfinder doesn’t post any links to any material at all. It just frames search results from other search engines.

A lot of the young people who voted for The One are going to be mad because they can’t get “free” music any more.

Is this just a search engine? I guess I don’t understand.

Homieland Security gropes grannies underwear and shuts down bit torrents of kids swapping tunes. Meanwhile islamists have taken over the white house, Iran has the nuke, Korea is about to explode, thousands have been shot to death and beheaded in the borderland drug/money wars, the dollar is tanking, the euro is bust, trillions of deficit got spent somewhere, yadda yadaa. We have morons in charge. Should not last much longer now before the shtf completely.
