BT-EFNET seems to have gotten the chop. I think now that ENT is over, and if I can get to the end of the current season of 24, I'll be content enough to say it was good while it lasted.

I think WinMx is based in the UK- making any RIAA threats pointless.

I'm SO annyoed about BTEFNET going! OMG The PAIN, the PAIN of it all! Seriously though - it sucks. Still don't know why TV shows are deemed illegal. As someone put it on the isohunt forum TV torrents should fall under the Betamax ruling - or something. If it's 'taped' for private viewing - it's not illegal.
Bloody hell why don't the TV companies just friggin' seed their own shows - i'd be happy to download it with ads if it meant that I could watch it when it first came out! I would say it would be a more lucrative TV advertising market - you have a PARTICULAR audience that you can advertise to instead of trying to suss out who is ACTUALLY watching your shows.
I mean looking at the btefnet figures at times, Enterprise was up there in the 'download ratings' with "Lost", "24", "Joey" and "The OC"!

isoHunt is working fine. Though, I'm pretty sure this converstion should stop short of discussing still extant sites...

Because the Evil Government Agencies specifically check here for what's hot in the world of filesharing?

Well, no. For one thing, government agencies aren't really involved (yet). But for Charles' sake, it would probably be best not to go out of our way to expedite (as opposed to merely advocating, which in my book is OK) activity that is, at least technically, legally actionable, and I say that as a wannabe hardcore open source culture warrior.
