son informed me about this one
I'm late, I know...
BUT, why is it that internet laymen told me about this? I'm guessing that it is because the heard about it through some 6.30 tabloid television show. The thing that gets me is though, if all sorts of drugs are being peddled there, I hate to think of what else goes through the place.
There is the side of the 'net where people share stuff that usually is paid for, but really is not harming anyone besides over-zealous IP owners. Then there is the side the police turn up at your door in the morning for. I have a bad feeling that is the sort of thing that is moved on silkroad as well as drugs.
I don't want to go anywhere near such a place.
Sure torrents are used to move that sort of materials, but it ain't listed on any torrent site I use, and I refuse to use a site that could be used to traffic such material.
