I don't torrent ANYTHING. You never know when the next legal hammer is going to be brought down. I just buy the stuff I want. It's not really a big deal to me.

It's amazing to me that they'll shut down these sites and not WikiLeaks, which is a site that publishes confidential documents relating to military operations. Dave (Converstionpc) was talking about this on Facebook, how it should be shut down. I see WikiLeaks as a threat to homeland security, not these other sites.

What materials that they have released would you consider a thread to homeland security? Just curious.

At 5pm EST Friday 22nd October 2010 WikiLeaks released the largest classified military leak in history. The 391,832 reports ('The Iraq War Logs'), document the war and occupation in Iraq, from 1st January 2004 to 31st December 2009 (except for the months of May 2004 and March 2009) as told by soldiers in the United States Army. Each is a 'SIGACT' or Significant Action in the war. They detail events as seen and heard by the US military troops on the ground in Iraq and are the first real glimpse into the secret history of the war that the United States government has been privy to throughout.

While it will reveal the details of the war in Iraq, I honestly dont see if has any impact on homeland security. Its still a shock that they havent managed to shut the site down, that I agree with.

To me it's much more of a threat to Homeland security than any of those other sites. I'm not sure what kind of security threat a torrent or a site selling knock-off handbags and sunglasses is, which is what DHS should be concerned with. I just don't get it.

Wikileaks is domained in Sweden I believe, hard for the US to shut that one down. I also heard that Assange is moving the servers around to avoid detection. Wikileaks is promising another big document leak next week.

Here is the latest:

AFP - The United States is concerned about a coming dump of classified documents by WikiLeaks, expected to be diplomatic cables, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said Wednesday.

"We are in touch with our posts around the world. They have begun the process of informing governments that a release of documents is possible in the near future," Crowley said.

"This is going to be unhelpful."

Crowley said that WikiLeaks release of classified documents, is "harmful to our national security. It does put lives at risk. It does put national interests at risk."

He said that diplomatic cables, messages between US posts around the world, "involve discussions that we had with government officials, with private citizens."

"Inherent in this day-to-day action is trust that we can convey our perspectives to other governments in confidence," he said. Breaking that confidence "has a impact."

"These revelations ... are going to create tensions on our relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world," he said.

WikiLeaks has not said what will be contained in its coming release, indicating only that it will be "seven times" the Iraq War logs in which it posted 400,000 secret documents.

A new posting would mark WikiLeaks' third mass release of classified documents after it published 77,000 secret US files on the Afghan conflict in July.

WikiLeaks argues the release of the documents, US-soldier authored incident reports from 2004 to 2009, has shed light on the wars, including allegations of torture by Iraqi forces and reports that suggested 15,000 additional civilian deaths in Iraq.

WikiLeaks' announcement Monday came just days after Sweden issued an international arrest warrant for the website's head, Australian national Julian Assange, wanted for questioning related to rape and sexual molestation accusations.
