This is a sad sad day! I feel that all torrents are just being hindered by all this legal bullshit, and its going to continue one way or the other! Just let us do it efficiently and the users can enjoy it fully and the content providers can reap the full benefits of there content getting out into the public. R.I.P 03/24/08 TorrentSpy

Story by torrentfreak.com:

TorrentSpy is no more, Justin Bunnell, the founder of the site writes: “We have decided on our own, not due to any court order or agreement, to bring the TorrentSpy.com search engine to an end and thus we permanently closed down worldwide on March 24, 2008.”

The main reason for the shutdown is the ongoing legal battle with the MPAA, which started February 2006. “We now feel compelled to provide the ultimate method of privacy protection for our users - permanent shutdown,” Justin writes.

By the end of 2006 TorrentSpy was more popular than any other BitTorrent site, but this changed quickly in August 2007, when a federal judge ordered TorrentSpy to log all user data. The judge ruled that TorrentSpy had to monitor its users in order to create detailed logs of their activities, and hand these over to the MPAA.

In a response to this decision - and to ensure the privacy of their users - TorrentSpy decided that it was best to block access to all users from the US. This led to a huge decrease in traffic and revenue.

This was not enough for the MPAA, who argued that TorrentSpy had ignored the court decision. The legal battle continued, and this eventually led to a preventative closure of the site by Justin, to protect the privacy of its users.

Brokep from The Pirate Bay had this to say about the closure: “Today all big torrent sites are pressured somehow. TPB has its share of pressure, however we expected it and have a legal system that is more just in cases like this. The way that the copyright lobby is going at this is totally wrong and we can’t let them win. And we won’t let them win. Today we reached a loss of a site, but it was more a person having to give up for economical reasons than anything else. The copyright lobby has their big cards - money and influence. In the long run they will have to give up as well. And when they do, I’ll go to the US and buy Justin a well-deserved beer.”

At this point it is not clear what will happen to the TorrentSpy.com domain. The domain was offered to other BitTorrent site owners, but has not yet been sold.

Remember this game they used to play on Sesame Street, when they used to bring two oranges and an apple and ask you which is the odd one out. Well this website is kind of the same thing but for adult music buff, or that savant from House. It asks you the difference between which of two identical mp3s of different sound qualities 320 kbps and 128 kbps! I obviously failed but i am usually really good at telling the difference, to my defense the volume wasn’t all the way up, so you cant really tell at low db, thats mainly when higher quality really comes into play! So turn your volume wayyyy up and give it your best guess! I am usually really good at telling the quality of things but it seems like the song type which threw me off! ok ok fine i suck! See if you do! 

In telecommunications, bit rate or data transfer rate is the average number of bits, characters, or blocks per unit time passing between equipment in a data transmission system. This is typically measured in multiples of the units bit per second or byte per second.

So the higher the number of bits transfered, the more information that can be transmitted, therefore better sound quality! Check if you have the ears of a musician. Click here!

Update: First, I am surprising enraged with my ISP (insert bad acronym for ISP) service as of now since they started traffic shaping upload of certain types of packets!  I will let you know more with my what.cd update! Secondly, i have a waffles.fm account!! wooo hooo!
