Oh c’mon, the article on TWBiz is pretty lame and looks more like a complaint – ‘look what this arrogant thieves answred to me!’
Turns out to be more of the announcement of the tracker to the people who didn’t know ’bout it. No disrespect, but I mean it could’ve been more of an article highlighting the real facts and problems caused.

companies need to realize there are better ways to distribute than through traditional routes. i think forum and stepchild are leading the way in preventing downloading by just making it available to purchase through itunes or their own website at the same time time as their dvd release.
companies like mack dawg and standard cite illegal downloading for reasons to close shop. but then they don’t do anything to prevent it. ground shipping from mack dawg’s website for one dvd costs 10 bucks! thats highway robbery! no wonder kids torrent these vids.

You're right.

The industry isn't going to be able to stop it...even if we shut down this site another one would present itself.

The only way is for snowboarders to respect the hard work of fellow snowboarders.

if the MPA (movie picture association) is having trouble shutting down torrent sites, i find it very hard to believe the action sports industry is going to have better luck.

Maybe,

but it also turned into a huge witch hunt.

Now that the name is out, everyone who knows anything about shutting crap like this down is doing something about it.

Shay, I feel the exact same way about movies. It's a bummer because I rarely am able to spend the extra money that I could save for gear/food/life etc.... but that's when I just watch my friends copies. Haha.
