Torrentspy.com denies access to USA users. - Club CDFreaks

*Nemesys* · 28-08-2007

Since the recent developments where Torrentspy.com was ordered by the authorities to monitor activities by visitor to their site, Torrentspy has vowed to defy the authorities and not comply with these orders.

A recent visit to their site yesterday has revealed that in order to expedite the defiance, they have denied access to their site to users from the USA.
USA users are greeted by the message below::

Torrentspy Acts to Protect Privacy

Sorry, but because you are located in the USA you cannot use the search features of the Torrentspy.com website.Torrentspy's decision to stop accepting US visitors was NOT compelled by any Court but rather an uncertain legal climate in the US regarding user privacy and an apparent tension between US and European Union privacy laws.

We hope you understand and will take the opportunity to visit one of these other fine websites:

ok isn't that against my 1st admendment rights?

**platinumsword** · 29-08-2007

If you really want to use Torrentspy.com all you have to do is go through a proxy server thats not located in the U.S. and you will be good to go.

You're amendment rights are only good in the USA. If the server or owners of the site are located in a different country you'r out of luck

Hey, Sexy_Southerner, off topic, but you should change your footnotes. Lobotomys were usually done through the eye sockets so there were no scars. I worked in a hospital where we actually did a few.

i have read about DRM cracking on this forum. why did moderator closed my post for asking help with it?

Hansy · 03-10-2007

Because it is illegal to crack DRM, that's why. You should pay for the service to have the right to own a file. So pay for the service, then try to find a software to back-up the downloaded files.

Btw. I read your other post that was closed, and Tunebite does not crack DRM, it can help you get around the DRM, but first you have to be able to play the file, so TUnebite can record it. And for that you must pay at least once

LesStrater · 07-10-2007

Forget about TorrentSpy. Download the free program "Bit Che" which will search all the good torrent sites for you at one time. (Even the member-only sites if you have a username and password.)
