LokiTorrent vs. MPAA 909
ravenspear writes "It seems that the attack on torrent sites is continuing strong. This time Lokitorrent is being sued by the MPAA. Unlike Suprnova and most of the previous sites however, they aren't planning to just roll over and die. It will no doubt be a dificult fight, but they plan to stay up for the time being. Also, they are asking for donations to cover their legal expenses. So far they have raised $8,755 out of a needed $30,000. "

Actually, since they're attempting to take on the MPAA in court that really means that they've raised $8,755 out of a needed $infinity.
Good luck nonetheless, guys.

So I choose to not give money in order to keep the true spirit of file-sharing alive. It's like an open source VS free software sort of thing.

I can grow a tree and pick my own food.
Not necessarily. Local authorities with guns can tell you to stop farming on your land, citing zoning regulations.
I can collect rain water.
Not necessarily. In Colorado [repp.org], authorities with guns can tell you to enforce the rights of downstream property owners to receive the rainwater in the form of river water.
I can stand on a street corner and yell at the top of my voice.
Not necessarily. Local authorities with guns can enforce a noise ordinance.
