if i was running such a large illegal computer scheme, i'd make sure noone would be able to get evidence off of those computers. at least in the u.s., they can't (unless you're a terrorist suspect ) search your dwelling without you present. so every time you go answer the door, you remove your private keys from RAM.

eventually you'll end up in a british torture chamber with them demanding your passphrase, but they'll never convict you. \o/

this is how i operate my life, and i don't even do many illegal things on my computers. i use EFS, private keys, etc. and whenever i walk away from a computer, i remove the keys from ram and lock the computer.

i think you could sell your services to these criminals and make bank.

i dont know how these guys dont do shit like that, i mean i would never go into doing something illegal like run a torrent server/site without first figuring out a foolproof way to get rid of evidence or cover my tracks completely.

Except the massive piracy? :-P

I think because it was such a close knit community that it was easier to track people down than on a place such as Mininova, etc.

I love owning concrete things rather than just having files. and I don't have a good source of lossless music anymore. if I did I might reconsider owning CDs.

larz: I never stopped seeding, mainly because no one would dl from me and my ratio started to suffer. That and I ended up ripping most of my CDs to MP3 320VBR to upload to Oink just to try and keep me from getting banned. At least all the CDs I owned were not on Oink...

hrmmm so waffles.fm is owned from ireland, operated out of a shady web host in amsterdam, and little is known about the people who operate it.

while i miss oink, I think its fairly safe to say waffles.fm was ill concieved. Interpol raided oink when it was operated in amsterdam from the uk. There's no reason they will not do the same for waffles.

I'll wait till the swedish hosted equivalent rises myself.
