Did anyone else get this email? I don't submit the email I signed up with newzbin to many places. Anyone have a confirmation if its legit or an ackbar?

Edit: It also seems fairly stupid..as they claim to use the same exact system, and there is now legal precedent for a case against it immediately unless they move it into some other country.

Heh, perhaps the law firm/piracy unit fired up newzbin under the name Newzbin 2 to catch some fish paying for the services to make thousands more settlements and suits.

My thoughts on the matter are kind of mixed. While I'm glad they took matters into their own hands I'm also a bit unnerved at the same time. Don't really think I could trust them with any sort of payment - for all we know it could be a quick scam job - they'll get a few thousand signups for a buck or two and disappear overnight. We'll see.

I agree that I don't think I'd trust them for a bit until some establishment took place, just because you take their source/name doesn't really mean you get the credibility that comes along with it.

That being said... I'm a little excited Smile

I did read that they claimed their code had been stolen.

I know some hackers got a copy of the code that runs newzbin, it happened twice. Nothing officially endorsed yet so i'd stay well clear. maybe nzbmatrix or somthing for the time beign.

Yes it is, but some people seem to be unable to access it (flush your DNS). Smile

Regrettably the Newzbin website has to close as a result of the legal action against us. More details here: http://deepsharer.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/newzbin-gossip/
