A Miracle?

While some I have talked to called it a fluke, I find it rather odd that ALL of the following sites are ALL down, redirected or are now porn sites. Go ahead and check it out.

http://astatalk.com/ = fatal error
http://www.demonoid.com/ = changed to http://www.demonoid.me/ = cannot locate the internet server or proxy server
http://underground.com/ = has gone to a search engine
http://torrentfreak.com/ = taken down
http://www.nowtorrents.com/ = index no longer do torrents
http://isohunt.com/ = has had to change domains
http://btjunkie.org/torrent = taken down
http://www.torrentroot.com/ = just a search engine now
http://www.torrenthound.com/ = download porn only site now
http://www.scrapetorrent.com/ = has gone to a search only
http://www.torrentfly.org/ = gone to a porn site

Yes, while the sites could come back up because anything is possible, this is an example of what's to come for pirating sites.

Shark Food

Like a thief in the night, another pirate bites the dust as 101 links to illegally distributed books vanishes from 4shared in the middle of the night.

Pirate sent to Davy Jones's Locker

I’m on a few anti-pirate places, things, hangouts—I’m not telling exactly where my haunts are—and I just had a most pleasant surprise. There was a place on the net that was discovered to have a pirate posting quite a few eBooks. Well, someone sent a notice to the host and in less than thirty minutes, that pirate was not only shut down and all links removed, but banned as well. Am I happy? Yep, because word is spreading about new ways to hunt and fight.
