****, I'm scared.

I used LokiTorrent once after Shannon told me that was a good torrent site to use, and now this happens. I don't want to get sued. :indiff:

If you downloaded any Hollywood movie, mp3 music, software, game, or TV show from Lokitorrent recently you might be getting a letter form the MPAA or one of their sister organizations. Lokitorrents privacy policy just went out the window, your secure information is now public. What will the MPAA do with the logs it was granted by Lokitorrent?

What will the MPAA do with all the information it gathers from the Lokitorrent Logs? Will it share these logs with other companies who want to know who was downloading their music, TV show, game or software? The closure of Lokitorrent seems to have left more questions then answers.

We will be posting more on this topic as more information becomes available.

For now we recommend:
BitTorrent trackers should remove their scrpae linking to lokitorrent... remember MPAA has the logs and will trace every scrape leading them to you! The only way to secure yourself is to remove the scrape scripts and to remove any files you have from Lokittorrent.
BitTorrent users should remove all downloaded materials you obtained from Lokitorrent. Remember to also securely erase any torrent files you have in your torrent folders.

You might also want to use some spyware software to scan your computer. We have been getting reports that the MPAA and RIAA had added spyware to some files they seeded just before the shuttering of Lokitorrent. The spyware will be labelled as a codec or some other application packaged along with the movie or music files.
We know the exeem network has been flooded with these as well.

If this is the website you downloaded the torrents from, how could they possibly track you down? All they have is your IP, which changes every once and a while I would think.
 
You had to sign up to use there services, and LokiTorrent released all the information they had about there users, this is the information they signed up with. Including IP.

So, you went to a site that allows you to get illegal access to copyrighted material, and now you're scared that you might be caught? Oh boo hoo.

One of these days you may learn to understand that actions have consequences.
 
They'll be using the server data to go more after the mass seeders and the releasers. Most leechers will be ignored 👍

Exactly. They're after the people that are distributing the movies, not the ones downloading them. Downloading files is sort of a gray area in the law.. it's distributing them that's flat-out illegal. As long as you're not hosting a bunch of torrents yourself, they'll leave you alone.
 
Scare tactics. 👎

Like the emadman said, they'll be going after those who actually distribute the movies, not those who actually download them.
 
Has this happened at any other torrent sites recently? I've heard of a bunch being shut down lately.

Your cool if you got dsl. Your IP changes every time you turn your Modeam off and on. 👍

I think you mean dialup. With dialup your IP changes every few hours. The same happens with most DSL connections too, unless you get a static IP.
 
You could always go out and buy the originals of everything you downloaded. That way you could say that you were just using them as backups.

If your IP has changed, surely your ISP would keep a record of your last IP address and could use that to trace you.
 
The fact that you're safe or not depends on the policies of your ISP towards confidentiality, not on the fact that your IP is dynamic or not. They can match your IP at a given time, it's been done before in RIAA lawsuits.
