So your saying if I post a link to a bittorrent website, you would edit my post to remove the link? May I ask why? For example, Isohunt recently was fighting a lawsuit as well, and I could go into details (I know the admin somewhat personally), but even in the AMERICAN court system, ALL charges were dismissed, and the website was deemed legal, partially on the fact that it can (and is) also used for legal purposes. Why remove links to a perfectly legal site?

@Blazer, in a case last week, a Belgium ISP, "tele2" was ordered to block access to the pirate bay, for "conspiracy to commite copyright infringment", and surprisingly it passed. Guess what...the law didn't even last till this week. The EU high court (after being appealed) ruled that the ban on a LEGAL website infringed on the privacy and rights of Tele2 users, AND that such a law in the first place was ILLEGAL, and its gets more complicated but basically, ISP have NO RIGHT to monitor let alone decide for themselves what their users are doing.

In Saudi Arabia, a similiar case, the country actually firewalled several BT websites, it lasted about a month before ISP customers protested and threated to leave for a few smaller ISP's not firewalled, all those sites were unblocked.

@Goztow, I was directing him to a bittorrent website to dowload a "backup" copy of Renegade, which again, 100% legal, in both my country and his.
