It is quite surprising that these sites exist and haven't been shut down or removed from search engine ads.

No surprize. Check out www.tvcentral.org. They'll try to sell you BitComet for $30.00, then tell you to check out their movie and tv "library", which is a link to torrentspy.

Good for them. Perhaps knicking the wallets of all these fucking idiots who are somehow allowed access to a computer will help teach them to either fire brain synapses, thus invoking intelligence and inducing thought, or simply stay off the Internet.

I think the link should stay on Google, if your stupid enough to buy it then Google can record this and post other ads which are as stupid as these and make loads of money. lol.

Not everyone sits on the computer religiously like alot of us do, so why should they be shafted by assholes? Would you want a mechanic to shaft you when he fixes your car? What about a carpenter? The list goes on. Don't be such assholes just because not everyone knows as much shit about computers as you guys do.

Yep computers are used quite often by normal people who don't really care how the computer works. Most consumers want is I turn it on and I can use word, email, and surf the net for them the rest of the process is zilch. People need to be informed though, but there will always be those who are reluctant and end up falling for the scams. So I guess it falls down on those who know to police or at least inform. These sites should be taken down.

thats just horrible, many times ive been to sites where they ask for money, for freeware, or other stuff, but ive been smart enough to get out.

thats why i use torrents now. great software, already cracked, and best of all, no paying ever.

I dont see ignorance being an excuse. If you fall for a scam than that is what you get.

If you worry about what you are spending your money on then it is not hard at all to get a second opinion, especially if you dont really understand what you are going to buy.

the4thwallOn Iran, From an American Iranian
I have an Iranian background, so throughout my life I've been bombarded with opinions on the country. Not only that, both my parents were involved in the late 70's revolution, and saw youth that helped Khomeini get to power being shot down by Khomeini's followers afterwards. That's the problem with revolutions, sometimes a power vacuum can destroy what could be a beautifull transformation. On top of that, I have dual citizen ship, and voted in the last election, whi...

KhramHappy Canada Day!
Today is the day the greatest nation that ever existed on Earth began 142 years ago. Canadians have much to be proud of. However, even the greatest nation on Earth still has its problems.The Russians threaten our airspace with their shitty planes and violate our sovereign waters with their submarines up in the Arctic. We should be shooting their planes down and sinking their subs as they cross our borders without warning. None of our politicians have the balls to at...
