Hacking Sites Targeted Now ?

[wraggster]

Last week we had the storys of stores and homes being targeted by USA authorities but now something more of a concern for the Homebrew and Hacking Scene, Tehskeen website which has a wealth of information about Gamecube and Nintendo Wii Hacking and Homebrew and Modding has today shut it doors with a RIP sign on the website.

Speaking to Brakken he claimed outside pressures but with the actions taken last week its pretty obvious that the site has been taken down by a mixture of legal threats both to him and his hosts.

DCEmu UK would like to offer any Homebrew and Emulation coders for the Wii and Gamecube a home at our network. Hopefully tehskeen will arise somehow but its a concerning moment for any Hacking Site/ Community.

What, pirates weren't enough? Now they have to go after the legitimate mod users? This is seriously F'ed up. Why don't they go after the numerous torrent sites instead?

They need to get their damned priorities straighted out...

im scared, wraggy... if you ever need a good hitman, i'll book a ticket to the UK.

It might've had something with their modchip reviews, and links to where you could buy them. In which case, DCemu is in the same boat. Maybe it would be a good idea to take down the links and any info about chips, at least for the time being.

This is the only reason I can think of that would've had any baring worth taking the site down... I mean, they can't shut a site down just for homebrew software and games.

Whatever happened to free speech? In my opinion thats all this is a form of. Free speech. Why is everyone being pushed around when they are doing nothing wrong but exercising their right to put out information. The internet is supposed to be a place to get out ideas and information to the masses, to give people a place to find out new and cool things. It sickens me to see how free speech is being ignored.

thats lame, this will only hurt the big companies in the end.

It's only the beginning, I expect anything dealing with modchips here in the U.S. will have a hard time for the foreseeable future.

Hope you all like corporate slavery. that's what this is all about. New World Order and DRM hand in hand. The war on terror is really just being used to control the masses and the things you buy.

"from my cold dead hand", that's where you'll find my psp you treasonous federal scumbags.
