I hope these guys get burnt to the ground for using the logo. All the discussion about this site being illegal aside the logo, isn't it exactly the same as piratebay? Not hosting anything, just providing links..etc. Piratebay have been taken down now and the owners prosecuted, for the same thing as these guys.
Some of you people are just straight up losers, I'd rather have my logo be associated with a torrent site then most of you lot, really I would.
It's blatant and its illegal so action will be taken, as for the content he hosts, well thats for him to worry about not you mini nerd detectives who seemingly wouldn't mind taking a bullet for a game.
Assuming the bittorent protocol does nothing but spread illegal copies of software and such, is like viewing the IP protocol in the same light, which is silly.
I think the wording of the charges against TPB pretty much means they can't have adverts on the site anymore 'Commercial gain from blahblahblah'.
The recent news of the charges isn't anything new, as I understand it 31st Jan was the deadline that charges had to be raised/dropped following on from the raids that the Swedish authorities were bullied into carrying out by the US lot. And I could be wrong about this, but the raids themselves are the subject of a case to see whether they were entirely legal or not.
Hello, I have just looked at the site, and yes they have used it with any credit or permission from the LFS Developers, I suppose with the Data we have from one of the earlier posts that Jakg made (thanks Jakg) to see if this can be pursued, although I'm sure they'll remove it if they are smart.
Another thing I would like to point out is that this was found today, I'm sure within a day they will read their Private messages and will remove it, otherwise most likely a hacker that may be reading will help out and just remove it for us hmm, do I smell someone hacking the torrent site?
BTW, Jakg, who did you get that info anyways, cause someone did that to me once and scared me.. LOL
If they we're smart they'd come to Portugal. The lawsuit would take long enough to make itself expire. Just have to hope they don't go in for "preventive detention" for the whole period...
Nice to read that majority of people here would use lawyers as first step? What happened with conversation and reasoning?
And it doesn't take more than iq of a herring to see that there is basically 0 harm done to LFS. It is a torrent site which makes the scheme of things shady already. Do you think people will associate that site (with the logo) with LFS...?
In the end, it is just a private (?) website anyways... lawsuits, lols
Anyway, doesn't anyone think that it's free publicity? It's easy to remember the logo because it's similar to NFS And when people put it in Google, they'll get directed to lfs.net and go WOAH...
Technically not, but staying up too long waiting torrents to finish download will increase risk and that site is bad for LFS image, people can get weird connection thinking it is LFS that spreads illegal files and will they buy LFS after that?
It means loss of image and income which means potential lawsuit
I`ll agree with you on this. It`s not like one of those big torrents sites, but it`s more a private one. Would be nice if they changed the logo, since it`s copyrighted, but in the end it isn`t the end of the world eighter.
