Read two posts up, you dork.

Even if it's the end of the btefnet website (which I doubt) the MPAA can't kill btefnet the IRC channel/group. They never have been able to and never will be able to. Such is the beauty of IRC.

I miss DALnet.

I read that post, but that just seemed like speculation on the part of one person. Are they still distributing torrents off their IRC channel?

Yes but the shows are crappy for ex:simple life and joey

 

[yukichigai]

All releases have been put on hold at the moment. I'm not sure what they're sorting out, but whatever it is it's big.

all i ever download TV shows for is if i forget to DVR something... this is dumb

The MPAA is banking on the fact that you will schedule time to actually tune in during the airtime... thus catch the commercials. Downloading these means no commercials at all. That's the only reason I can come up with.

It's funny because the previous Supreme Court decision about "Time Shifting" pretty much contradicts what the MPAA is claiming. While cable may be a different matter, nobody has ever signed or agreed to any terms that say "I promise I will watch the commercials with this broadcast TV show." There are laws against profiting from the resale/redistribution of broadcast TV, which is probably how the MPAA will wind up going after btefnet and others, but saying that "trimming the commercials out is illegal" is crap.

Oh yes, as I've mentioned eight billion times: The Pirate Bay. The Pirate Bay. THE PIRATE MOTHERF%$#ING BAY

Freakin' German...

You know what "TV" is in German? TV. (And it's Swedish anyway)

They should offer a service to download TV shows for a fee. Be it Napster with unlimited or iTunes with single purchase.

I would be a paying customer.


is it so hard to accept highbandwidth as the next entertainment medium?

go all the way back to vinyl...technology changes.

these media industry A-holes (AND THEIR LAWYERS) need to get with the program.

They have +m in the channel, so triggers won't work and you won't be able to speak.
I guess they were getting POed by everyone asking what was going on.

So are you saying now that the channel is useless?

And how do I "check the triggers"?

Can someone please answer the above question? thanks!

 

[Azndude51]

You guys keep mentioning how they should release TV shows directly from the people who make them. They don't do this because it would probably kill their DVD sales.

MPAA sues TV program swappers

May 13, 2005 - 21:26 EST

The black market for general television programs has grown just like the one for pirated movies. The MPAA wants to put a stop to that as well.

The Motion Picture Association of America filed suit against six sites it accuses of being BitTorrent conduits for television shows. The sites sued Thursday are ShunTV, Zonatracker, Btefnet, Scifi-Classics, CDDVDHeaven and Bragginrights.

 

[lokiju]

This is interesting, there must be a TorrentSpy out there somewhere causing all these sites to be brought down.

I'm not sure what you speak of.

Not at the moment, no. Well, kinda. The bots are up but the triggers are disabled, since the channel is +m. (Only Voiced users can speak) They're "sorting it out" at the moment; theoretically it will return.

Just goes to GoDaddy now.

any updates on their irc channel?

None, except to say that btefnet.com isn't affiliated with them, and that you shouldn't donate to them like the page asks you to. So to reiterate: THE WEBSITE IS BTEFNET.NET, NOT BTEFNET.COM. BTEFNET.COM IS BAD!

Oh yes, since people seem to forget how to function every time one little site goes down.

The Pirate Bay
Mininova
TorrentSpy
Novatina
Demonoid


The sky is not falling. At least not completely.

EDIT: One of their rotating messages now says that they haven't been sued or contacted by the MPAA. (bolded text is new from the original message) This makes me wonder if the MPAA is just going "BOO!" at the sites to see if they shut down.

EDITx2: Bonus "yuki likes you" points to anybody who finds somewhere -- bittorrent or otherwise -- that has the most recent episode of Lost in HRHDTV. (960x528 or higher)

 

[0roo0roo]

well yea but the sites that are like btefnet tvtorrents.tv .ws tvswarm etc type are gone
