    Continuing its attacks on file-sharing-related domains, the UK Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit has shut down its very first search engine. Following an earlier BPI request for it to be blocked by the country's ISPs, in the past few hours file-host search site FileCrop was shuttered as part of a PIPCU investigation.

    Why would stupid pigs shut down a search engine? That's a bit creepy actually. :(

    hello, friends,

    quite possibly they want to show that they have the upper hand in their more holistic approach... :sad:

    all the best... :bow:

    Fucking A. You said it all! We're kicking ass and taking names.
    Power to the people. Death to tyrants. Action now.
    Those fools don't have a single clue about who they are fucking with.

    We are free to be told what to do.


    Thing thats puzzling me is why the city of London. :dunno:
    they control one square mile of London that has nothing to do with the uk, like Vatican city has nothing to do with Italy

    its easier to target them as the cyberlockers itself and with google filtering their searches its impossible for the general non experienced people to find any releases in the web - they think global and simple.

    Because of their job. It's just a job and, to be honest, i respect that. They are not paid for a "free software for all" policy. They have to feed the kids like you do. I cannot find anything immoral in their activity. And they are not stupid pigs just beause of doing soemething you do not sit well with !

    Yeah you know who else probably used that excuse: nazis or the guys that beat down Rodney King. Make no mistake this is not an attack on filesharing but rather a chilling attack on the freedom of information. It is the height of absurdity to take such brute force tactics against a legitimate enterprise since last time I checked linking wasn't illegal.

    There is no justification on Earth for slinging insults at innocent pigs, for comparing those loveable creatures of God to cops who act like thugs and bullies, cops who do some horrible things because they are above the law that they have sworn to uphold, the rotten cops, the dangerous cops, who eat their jelly donuts just like ...???... pigs.

    hmmm, grrrrrrrr i hate cops. Not because of doing something ridiculous concerning filesharing but because of them being highwaymen, fucking arizona bushwackers. These fucking cops fucked my ass several times. They broke my shoulder and everything within my shoulder. I am not able to lift my left arm since my last meeting with them. Well, they do not eat donuts in germany but they anytime did decide to wear brown trousers and a fucking gun. They have the brain of dog dirt in my eyes. Just to prevent any misunderstandings

    @ lowpass

    I am not religious but I do believe in Hell. I'll kick those cops right in the nuts -- when I meet them there.

    This enemy of your enemy is your friend from here on out, and I apologize if I was rude.

    The point you made is valid: every person on this Earth is just a human being -- not a pig, not a rat, just a human being. Calling people 'names' just makes this world a little worse.

    Furthermore, I do agree: the cops just did their duty when they closed that engine down, which doesn't mean I like the laws that made that possible, nor does it mean that I believe that what they did was legal.

    Personally, I like the cops -- even some of the psychopaths -- even though I break the law every now and then. I have shared a zillion files. Catch me if you can.

    By the way, I like the name that you have chosen for yourself: lowpass.
