Dearest little asstunnels,
Let me start of by thanking you for your pitiful attempt to have your emails removed from the entire internet (the thing that says ). In no way we feel obligated to fulfill your request, as a matter of fact any organization that tries to harm this site and the bittorrent user in general can expect nothing more from us but a big fuck you!
In case you haven't noticed, this site is located in Europe (I hope you can point it out on a map) where your stupid copyright claims have no base. But fair is fair you guys did suffer over the past week so here's bit of advice to you guys:
* Fuck you!
* Fuck you again!
* Fuck you again and again and again!
* Fuck you again and again and again && again!
There is no way you can stop this, your emails have been published on more then a centillion websites. And if there is anyone who is going to start a lawsuit it will be us suing you for attempts to sabotage the integrity of this site and many others.
Have a very nice day,
Markus
