All these files are also hosted on the Internet Archive and can be shared freely.Īnd that’s just a single phrase. TorrentFreak goes on to note that this single filter item of “the kingdom” has resulted in a whole bunch of authorized content getting blocked:įor example, legitimate torrents blocked by “The Kingdom” phrase include an album with Reggaeton music, a selection of sermons preached at the North Main Church of Christ and a live concert from Uncle Earl. However, one of his tracks is titled “In the Kingdom of the Undead” which contains “The Kingdom,” a combination of words which the MPAA deems infringing. Needless to say, Wallace doesn’t want his music to be blocked. “Torrent has been censored, as required by US court.”

Those who try to download his two track album “ The Spirit Truth” will see the following error message.

This week artist Elliot Wallace found out that the music he shares with a Creative Commons license is blocked for U.S. It appears, for reasons that make no sense, the MPAA has more or less made IsoHunt set up blanket blocks on certain terms, no matter how generic: Even as the MPAA is claiming that IsoHunt has constructed its filter to still let people infringe, there are reports coming out about how ridiculously broad and stupid the filter is, such that plenty of legitimate and authorized content is getting caught and blocked. In fact, last year we wrote about legitimate content being blocked.Īnd it’s still happening today. Yet, for content that wants to be found, there’s no need for such basic obfuscation, and then the legit content gets blocked. When such blocks go into place, people who really want to share unauthorized content quickly work out ways around the filters, whether it’s some sort of shorthand that avoids the filters or with some other simple to decipher system. While those two things may sound contradictory, they’re not. There are two reasons for this: (1) they don’t do a very good job blocking infringing content, and (2) they always block legitimate content. Hell, back in the Napster case over a decade ago, the judge made a similar requirement only to learn that filters suck for this kind of thing. This is pretty stupid for a variety of reasons.

The MPAA has been engaged in an ongoing legal battle with torrent search engine IsoHunt, where a court ordered IsoHunt to wave a magic wand and block all infringement based on an MPAA list of what has to be blocked. The main goal is to restore the website with torrents and provide users with the same familiar interface.Fri, Sep 20th 2013 09:40am - Mike Masnick "We want those people to feel like being at home while visiting isohunt.to. People got used to it and they don't want to simply let it go," Isohunt.to's owners told TorrentFreak. "IsoHunt can definitely be called a file-sharing icon. But, it appears Isohunt.to's owners had already nabbed most of what they needed. In fact, when Fung caught wind that a group was copying his site before the closure deadline, he shuttered Isohunt down several days early. The new owners are adamant that Fung has nothing to do with their site. Apparently, before the closure, Isohunt.to's owners were able to copy and resurrect their new site, according to TorrentFreak. Under the terms of the settlement, Fung had seven days to shut down the site, as well as close three other sites that redirect to Isohunt - Podtropolis, TorrentBox, and. Earlier this month, the site was slated to shutter indefinitely after years of court battles over copyright infringement with the MPAA.

Isohunt was one of the most popular BitTorrent sites online Fung claimed it had 44.2 million peers and 13.7 million active torrents. We proudly copied it and are happy to share." "We have nothing in common with the isoHunt Inc. "IsoHunt is back online! It's the same old isoHunt from the outside but very different from the inside," Isohunt.to wrote in a blog post on Wednesday. Isohunt.to is almost a perfect replica of it has the same interface, categories, and torrent pages. No, Isohunt founder Gary Fung didn't renege on his settlement - rather, fans of the site decided to make an exact clone of the original Isohunt, according to TorrentFreak. But, a quick glance at the site Isohunt.to and it seems the search engine appears to be alive. It's been two weeks since BitTorrent search engine Isohunt agreed to exit the Internet after reaching a $110 million settlement deal over copyright infringement with the Motion Picture Association of America. Isohunt.to looks like an exact replica of the original Isohunt.
