LokiTorrent, along with many other BitTorrent trackers over the last few months have been seeking donations to fight MPAA lawsuits. Unfortunately, Suprnova was taken down last month, and today LokiTorrent fell under the hammer of the MPAA.

On the site you will find a nice little picture (mirrored here for posterity), and the quotes under it:

"There are websites that provide legal downloads. This is not one of them."
"This website has been permanently shut down by court order because it facilitates the illegal downloading of copyrighted motion pictures. The illegal downloading of motion pictures robs thousands of honest, hard-working people of their livelihood, and stifles creativity. Illegally downloading movies from sites such as these without proper authorization violates the law, is theft, and is not anonymous. Stealing movies leaves a trail. The only way not to get caught is to stop."

AI in no way supports or condones the illegal trade of copyrighted files. However we would love to hear your comments and thoughts on the subject!
