I know people here have used it as a means of sharing images, scripts
etc over the years, my question is this since those sites have some
associationg with illegal activities wouldn't such links etc on the forums
also jerpordize our beloved XBMC because of any aassociation with
those sites within the forum if such a bill was ever to pass? I am grateful
to everyone that took a stance against the bill, but this is just the beginning
and will will continuously have to confront them, I just don't want to see
any hickups along the way forward stunting the development, or casing
it to cease to exist in the future because of something being ill thought
out.

As soon as they close one site down another will start up somewhere else that they have no control over. The media companies really seem to be missing a trick and an easy way out.
Stop wasting millions in anti piracy and copy protection that someone will crack in no time at all. Sell your Films on Bluray \ DVD etc. Then do a HD rip of the film, no copy protection and stick it on your website to be downloaded for £\$ 1.00 or whatever your local currency is. I would think a lot of people that download movies etc from torrents would go and get a legal copy for next to nothing instead of a ripped movie.
They save millions on copy protection that never works and get cash in from downloads too.

They are still raking in money so they will continue to do whatever it is they are doing.And to think that I was convinced that money to be given to shareholders came from consumers... go figure.
