First let me explain, I been at this a very very long time, I started back in the old bbs days when file sharing was still a major feat to accomplish for even the simplest file, watched it grow into warez ftp and still to me it is the best fastest way to share files. I watched the trackers come and go, I watched as Gary Fung and the others at isohunt run in the night to avoid the authorities, I have seen and been staff at sites that got raided. I have seen extraordinary effort put in by so many to make sure that the goal of freedom to share has been defeated, bought and paid for with so much cash, time, people, and server space.
I have seen publics fall, I have seen people with a religious obsession about certain sites panic has their owner and coder got hauled to jail. But through it all the people still find a way to share. I have seen great coders, owners, uploaders. I have see4n it all over the 20 plus years I been in this. And I know that the people will always share. It may not be bit torrent for long but as soon as there is a better way then it will happen.
As far as the ass clowns at the download sites understadn that they are not producing, they are not taking care of sources, they are only in it for the money, and the money can only come from advertising then the people will see what they really value and turn their backs on them. You see we can belong to ABC tracker because those people over at xyz tracker are friggin idiots, but we all know that its a part of a larger brotherhood of those that share, thats what we do here, we all share so that we can ensure that sharing will go on, those that develop code platforms and those that theme, those that create great sites and those that work forever on a small section of code to make it just right, all are here to make sure that what our parents taught us, "To share with others" will always be there.
Bit torrent has had a great run, but with the crackdown on sites, both public and private the day is coming when a new technology will have to be invented to insure that we will still beat "them" and that sharing will continue. Over the years I have met so many great people through this, we were not limited by governments, borders, money, laws. It was decided a long time ago, sharing would always be without limits.
Do I know what the next big thing will be? No I don't, nzb looked promising but never caught on, is it a step backwards to ftp, and direct downloads? I don't think so, then your putting all the pressure (legal and otherwise) on whoever uploads the file. But what ever it is....I am proud to be associated with a group of pirates that are here at bvlist to make sure that the owners, uploaders, forum whores, and the person that just now discovered they can get that movie through bit torrent, will survive, and when the new next best thing comes along, I know I will see most of you on the other side!
