Over the past few months, we've been watching the demise of several large file sharing sites, specifically those relating to eDonkey2000 and BitTorrent. Most of the sites, including the biggest site of them all, SuprNova, complied with the cease and desist issued to them from the MPAA.
Throughout all of these closures, LokiTorrent has been in the background, serving its select community. However, since the closure of the bigger torrent sites and trackers, it has gained heavily in popularity. LokiTorrent, along with all the others did receive a cease and desist letter. Instead of following the lead of many of the other sites, they instead decided to fight it.
The MPAA has officially sued LokiTorrent for it's non-compliance, and is now in need of legal funds. To support the legal fight, they need at least $30,000 a month. This goal seemed hard to hit weeks ago, but has since then been met. Now we as a community have to keep helping as much as possible to keep that goal up.
If you are interested further in the legal battle, feel free to visit LokiTorrent. They will need far more money then that given to continue this lawsuit, which is anticipated to continue for a long time.
