Replacements for Mininova
Dec 7th
Now Mininova is long gone (for practical torrents) and we aren’t left with any proper substitutes? WRONG.
Coda.fm for all the music. A daily updated index of great quality torrents for music
Well, Pirate Bay is still here.
BTjunkie tops the list, it is a torrent treasure you might want to have a look at. BTJunkie also indexes private trackers which tend to have faster, higher quality torrents. Thus it has a index of HUGE list of torrents. Also includes some cool email options on sign-up.
Torrentz is good sometimes. (one stop to search it all).
VerTor (Verified torrents). For a good ratio most of the times.
Personally I don’t trust ISOhunt (for giving me malicious results with google). You can try.

Recently a US court fined Jammie Thomas for downloading 24 songs illegally from the Internet. She was laid down a fine of 80,000$ for each song she downloaded, ie 1.92 million of total fine. Recording labels however celebrated victory, this news has fired people against RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) tactics.

I bet every normal >5th grader knows the fact that knows- Sound is produced when anything vibrates. But wait….. did I say anything. Yes, not just the electromagnets in your sound boxes are the sole source of Music.

Recently while listening to Mamamia by ABBA I recalled the song
“mil gaya humko saathi mil gaya” and “Tere liye zamana tere liye….”
Compiled a list of such tunes.
The hindi song director would say that this was a coincidence or a song inspired by…. Here is a small list of native tunes I found similar to some other better known tunes.
1. Lawaris- Tumne jo kaha ~ Aqua- Barbie girl
2. Hum kissi se kam nahi- Mil gaya ~ ABBA- Mama mia
