If their distributing copyrighted material, I can't say I feel sorry for them. That doesn't mean I"m happy it's happening, but let's be honest, it's wwe right to have their copyrighted material removed.

It kinda sucks because thats where I got a lot of my PPVs from, but I think this sort of thing is inevitable in this day and age. However, a good idea was posted on their forums in a thread dedicated to this issue that they should just get rid of all the WWE material and make its content exclusively Japanese federations, TNA, ROH, and other indy feds. Personally, that would still be a popular site since indy feds wouldn't mind their name getting out there. TNA might not like their PPVs being downloaded, but it could still spark some new interest.

It's just a cease and desist order. The webmaster isn't really in trouble. He just has to take everything down and reply to their letter. It's not like they're suing him for a large sum of money. I'd say he got off easy.

Speaking on Indy stuff, anyone know of any sites that has indy stuff for download. At the moment I only have NWA Cyberspace, and besides only being one promotion, you can't download anything.

Also I don't use torrents, so...

They can't stop the torrents. They can shut down the sites; the people will move.

Then again, if they had good PPVs, people might buy 'em. The webcast is a freaking joke.

Whilst you people are enjoying downloading most indy and TNA shows off PWT, you can go to either XWT or elsewhere for your WWE Fix.
For the next week, I will be trying my hardest to get WWE material back on the tracker so chill for a little bit.

Thanks to the mods of PWT for helping me out through this, always appreciated.

Apr-24-06 - WWE Content is returning to PWT ( Sarge )
In just hours, PWT will have its doors open to WWE content once again.
Why do you ask? Lets just say that we were right in the first place.

We hope you are all excited about this as we are.
Thank you for your patience throughout the stressful time WWE content was not on our server.
Uploaders, get ready to umm... upload!
