So I guess The Pirate Bay is pretty much dead. 99/100 times a query results in "overloaded" message while showing you ten more Evony ads. RIP

In other news, with Demonoid also out of commission, I'd happily accept any invites to private sites that someone might want to share.

I'm sitting here pressing enter every 2 seconds so I can watch Groundhog Day. Damnit. Are there even any hot girls in Evony?

Stagevu to the rescue http://stagevu.com/video/jpfbitaqvkmv
Just click "download" and you can download the movie directly.
Or you can install the divx webplayer plugin and stream it while also downloading a local copy (if you go into settings and set it to store what it downloads).

Oh cool, is this pretty much the successor to stage 6? I was so sad when it went down :(

i wonder how many billions pirate bay cost the software industries etc
Software... who knows. You can pirate single player PC games but you can't pirate online multiplayer PC games, which I would guess are the biggest part of the PC market these days.
I'd say that as far as "TPB cost industry X money", I'd say it probably cost the music and movie industries quite a bit -- especially since those industries let it go on for years before trying to provide an alternative like Hulu.
Thanks ......... I read somewhere that it would take 26,000$ to fill an ipod legitimately. where can you get free mp3 still?
Well one source of free MP3s would any existing music you own. I'm not entirely sure but I believe that if you own a CD, there's nothing illegal about downloading MP3s of that CD to use however you want.
As far as free MP3s that you've never had to pay for... I'm not sure if there is a standard service that is universally used. I know that individual bands have released albums that you don't have to pay for if you don't choose to. Little by Little by Harvey Danger and Ghosts by Nine Inch Nails come to mind first.
Google has been suggesting Lala.com to me lately, and it has a huge catalogue of music that you can listen to for free. It does unobtrusively offer for you to pay and download the MP3 version, but it seems like a very fair service.
Edit:
Also, I don't know why you were downvoted for raising a fair point, but I'll upvote you to offset it.

I think they might be clamping down soon on downloading for free from the net, love to find a good source of mp3's to download before they stop it.
