BTJunkie voluntarily shuts down
One of the most popular torrent sharing sites on the internet voluntarily shut itself down today.
http://btjunkie.org/goodbye.html
Looks like the MegaUpload seizure put the fear of God in some.

There's a bay nearby with a pirate ship anchored in it full to the brim with smuggled goods.

I hear the Captains are not pussies, are prepared for battle and will go down with the ship if need be.

Had an idea!

There are a ton of other torrent sites out there that have just as much content.
This is a loosing battle for the government. Can't wait to see how many billions they waste trying to stop illegal file sharing.

Pretty sure we're not allowed to post them here. But there are easy enough to find on Google.

Used that site all the time. And there are a couple others who have already taken this route.

Yeah, this is a good tip.
For example, if you want a CD, type in "CD NAME, torrent" and you'll be fine.
