BitTorrents - Its all getting nasty





I have been a regular downloader of bittorrents for a couple of years now, Bittorrents are a great way of people to share files using small client (I use Burst), music, movies, games and Pron can all be traded using this method.

I have been reading about "Saz" who used to moderate a number on a few bittorrent sites, mainly Filesoup.
Saz then left filesoup, and decided to set his own adult bittorrent website empornium, with at one point over 1 million members, he needed cash via donations in order to pay for hosting etc.

Then came the problems, Saz had some interest from a company Targetpoint who stumped up a wad of cash, they then decided to take over the whole thing and used all legal loopholes to be able to do this, now empornium is effectively run by Targetpoint who have (alledgedly) adverts over the whole site, not only this, but they have resorted to making new users to pay for sign-ups.

To say this has pissed off the members, admins and moderators is an understatement, the majority of which have left empornium and set up shop at Cheggit
Now a war has broke out between the illegal file sharing websites, never mind the record and film companies.
