    Don't know if any of you used the site, but man it was awesome. You could get pretty much anything you wanted in there. They even started to upload NBA games from this year's playoffs

    !! Now where am I going to get my Breaking Bad fix from!

    Feds shut down nine websites in movie piracy crackdown

    The sites had made pirated versions of 'Toy Story 3' and 'Iron Man 2' available within hours of their release in theaters. The crackdown is part of a renewed effort to curb film and TV piracy online.

    Adding some swashbuckling to its tough talk on fighting piracy, the federal government on Wednesday seized several websites that had offered downloads of pirated movies such as "Toy Story 3" and "Iron Man 2" within hours of their release in theaters.

    Federal authorities announced that they had seized domain names from nine websites engaged in the "criminal theft of American movies and television." The websites include TVShack.net, PlanetMoviez.com, ThePirateCity.org and Ninjavideo.net. Combined, the sites drew 6.7 million visitors a month, authorities said.

    Officials also seized assets from 15 bank, investment and advertising accounts and executed residential search warrants in North Carolina, New York, New Jersey and Washington, according to a statement from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which coordinated its investigation with the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies.

    The crackdown, which involved 100 agents working in 11 states and the Netherlands, was part of a renewed campaign dubbed Operation in Our Sites by federal authorities to curb Internet counterfeiting and piracy. The announcement comes a week after the Obama administration unveiled a detailed plan on how to tackle global piracy, including targeting illegal websites.

    ICE chief John Morton, speaking at a Walt Disney Studios sound stage where he was joined by movie studio executives and union representatives, trumpeted the bust as the beginning of a "long-term effort to turn the tables on these thieves." The targeted websites, he added, are "run by people who have no respect for creativity and innovation."

    The studios say they lose hundreds of millions annually to piracy.

    Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement that the actions were necessary to protect the jobs and livelihoods of "ordinary working people" and warned others engaged in similar websites.

    "If your business model is piracy, your story will not have a happy ending," Bharara said.

    Why do people put up popular and mainstream like Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, etc that get sites with mostly obscure, awesome stuff taken down? Back in college, I remember people having tons of underground music then getting letters from the RIAA or whatever simply because they had illegal copies of Will Smith "Getting Jiggy With It" and Justin Timberlake "Cry Me a River."

    I don't think these studio execs care if you pirate the obscure, awesome ...people need to stop ruining it for others by posting mainstream stuff.

    Did you use Greasemonkey? I've been using the Greasemonkey script and it's worked relatively well up till now. Though it doesn't even compare to Ninjavideo, its a very nice site. Lots of movies and Shows.

    I was able to catch up on Californication on NinjaVideo. I don't like using sites that ask you to download a whole bunch of crap just to watch their . Just let me watch instead of getting a bunch of add-ons.

    Yeah, I don't like that either. That's way NinjaVideo was so good. On top of that shows were uploaded minutes after they were aired on TV. It was crazy.

    They had ads that gave trojans to the people visiting, after being brought to their attention they decided to ignore it for quite a while.


    More and more people complained about the virus and after a while they decided they were going to do something about it and pulled it out of the rotation. I don't know about you, but that's ed up. I'm glad they're done... so glad.

    I have Kaspersky on my computer now. Before I had AVG. When I installed and scanned my computer with Kaspersky, it kicked out a lot of trojans, probably from files being downloaded from sites requiring them to watch videos.

    I never had that problem with NinjaVideo. MegaVideo does some of that, but it seems to have stopped with mine. Also, a lot of sites get blocked by Kaspersky because of the ads on them. Just totally shuts them out. I guess that's a good problem to have.

    I've found it to work best with Chrome.
