Whatever the case may be, if you are in the casual torrenting business, be sure to use a VPN to protect your privacy and virus scan everything. Whether or not this is a foreboding warning to the remaining torrent sites is yet to be determined. Disney is currently working with the FBI to catch the hackers. Why would they? The movie is going to make millions at the box office regardless of being torrented.

Ettv and Ethd appear to be operational, relying on donations to cover expenses. In addition to the site itself being shutdown, its main release group - ETRG (the group code you might see in the file name of many torrents) - is also done.
