well - mininova is no more so is isohunt

Eh, any negative impact on the torrent world will be pretty much insignificant.
In fact, the incident will cause a backlash which will result in more torrents being available. Awesome.
 
That fee you pay does fuck all for the artists you're ripping off. I can deal with slow Rapidshare :)
 

Technically yes, but delve just a little further into it and you will see that Mininova is only online with a certain service that they offer where the bands and labels themselves upload their music there and mininova tracks it legally. Far from what it was before. ISOhunt should technically be offline right now, as they are appealing a cease and desist order. If it is not appealed successfully, they will be gone too.
