So, MagiPack was banned from IA and won’t be returning. It was fun while it lasted guys, time to find a new repack source.

(Edit) Don’t host your own stuff even if you stand a viable chance of getting banned by whoever you’re hosting on if you use someone else to host on.

    using IA as a hosting provider for distributing piracy is a really bad idea, it literally puts IA at risk.

    The more y’all are online yammering openly about piracy, the more you put at risk. Both personally and for communities.

      Yes, you’d be right and I don’t like anyone who boasts, gloats and brags about their pirating activities. We’re all pirating for a varied assortment of reasons, personal or spite or logical, but it comes down to the fact that we’re getting stuff for free and saves us tons of money. So, we all should universally be in glee about that alone. However, being louder about it, increases risks and chances of our sources being taken from us before we know it.

      A lot of great sources of pirating has been taken from us over the past 5 years, sources we’d never thought would be taken down (before anyone says The Pirate Bay, that site has long lost its purpose, its symbolism now.) Sometimes it isn’t because people were loud, it is just because of the network of government bodies being in bed with entertainment industries and law enforcement that are really throwing everything at the wall to take down piracy in general.

      But sometimes, they wouldn’t have targeted anything if the loud-mouths would shut up.

    That drastically increases the risk. Then you have to have hosting experience on top of everything else, and if your OpSec isn’t fucking perfect the powers that be will tear you a new asshole.
