2/10    Lokitorrent is dead.  Long live lokitorrent!
        \_ Do you have more info about the outcome of the lawsuit?  Did the
           court force them to put up the index.html page they now have at
           http://www.lokitorrent.com ?
           \_ I wonder when they'll go after bittorrent downloaders instead of
              sites.

11/20   Are there tools that can justify a chunk of plain ASCII text by
        replacing words with words of similar meaning and inserting/removing
        commas into the text?  I received a 40-line plain text mail where
        all the lines are justified on left and right.  Every word and comma
        is followed by only one space, and every period is followed by two

Michael Ingram LokiTorrent fed the torrent hunger of 680,000 active registered members a nd dealt with 18 million hits per day. They were the only website to st and and fight the MPAA after the pre-Christmas shutdowns. Or so the comm unity, who donated $40,000 legal aid, thought. Torrentstop, LokiTorrent's lighter sister which is also run by Webber, di splays the same notice. Sources close to Webber have confirmed that the shutdown by the MPAA is p ermanent. No more information is availabl e at this stage due to a court gagging order. Update: LokiTorrent administrator Edward Webber has agreed to pay a subst antial fine and to provide all BitTorrent activity logs of its former us ers. This comes as a serious betrayal to those who felt that LokiTorrent intended to fight the MPAA lawsuit. press release: The MPAA's efforts to date have resulted in a 40 percent reduction in the number of servers that continue to operate. One such site that will no longer exist is LokiTorrentone of the largest BitTorrent host servers. T he operator of that site, Edward Webber, agreed to not only pay a substa ntial settlement with even greater financial penalties for any further s uch actions, but by Court Order must provide the MPAA with access to and copies of all logs and server data related to his illegal BitTorrent ac tivities, which will provide a roadmap to others who have used LokiTorre nt to engage in illegal activities.

The loss is another blow to BitTorrent, and file sharing as a whole, whic h has lost many of the main P2P websites over the last few months.
