  • ERIK1960, on 11/11/2007, -4/+4Great article; thanks for sharing
  • MutantFruit, on 11/11/2007, -1/+10This is purely in response to the fact that 'seedpeer' were caught redhanded passing off opensource code as their own and violating the license of said code.

  • FTLJohnson, on 11/11/2007, -0/+7All that because of the lawyers of James Blunt... hehe Stupid music industry... still doesn't get it. Uhm, well... I guess it's time to boycott James Blunt... for some reason, I don't think that will be too hard.
  • Meganova, on 11/11/2007, -7/+4We already apologized to Alen, Torrentfreak on the other hand is constantly trying to find ways to shut us down!
    There is no objectiveness on that site, the highest bidder gets it the biggest piece of the cake, thats a fact and everybody knows it.
  • Zookdirt, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5Sad day for SeedPeer, not TorrentFreak ;)
  • MutantFruit, on 11/11/2007, -0/+8"We already apologized to Alen"

    No you didn't. You banned my IP from your site. Thats not much of an apology now is it? You're also spreading ***** now about torrentfreak, funnily enough you only posted your article *after* they covered the client debacle. You also have no proof. A screenshot of an email is not proof.
  • anotherdigger2, on 11/11/2007, -0/+6SeedPeer/Meganova/whoever - this is clearly completely ridiculous. Every single one of torrentfreaks posts is PRO-TORRENTS. I can't find anything negative about Meganova anywhere on the site which points to a grudge. This is a knee-jerk reaction to their TRUE post about your theft of the monotorrent code.

    Grow up, no-one believes yours or 'tylers' *****.
  • NibNob1, on 11/11/2007, -4/+0Thanks interesting
  • nzd9f1, on 11/11/2007, -3/+2interesting news

  • PC101, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2404 ... bah!
  • EXTER, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2"404 - Not Found"
    Looks like the article got shut down too.
  • borget, on 11/11/2007, -0/+7Lol Bogaa, you are always saying ***** like usual ... I really don't envy you: stealing, lying, propagating false rumors...
    What's more ???

    Grow up, become responsible and assume your own errors. Do you objectively believe that TorrentFreak needs to report your site to get it closed ?

    If you provided false information to your registrar, this is your fault!!!

  • sylv3r, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5"Fair is Fair we recoded about 15% of the code, so now that is out, what now?" - SeedPeer
