No video?

This doesn't seem very profitable when so many textbooks come out with a new edition every year.

A download link for each song? You can get them via a browser add-on like DownloadHelper for Firefox.

I'm 20 and use it all the time. Don't people buy used things anymore?

Not surprising. If it was trending on Twitter that would be news.

And even if Boxopus claimed to protect you like some VPNs do, unless they also encrypt the files before uploading them to Dropbox, wouldn't you still be at legal risk with Dropbox? Or are Dropbox contents automatically encrypted upon upload so that employees have no way of knowing what they contain?

koala_advert | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: movies.io — torrent search like it should be

This is the reason I won't be using it. I have a TPB Firefox search bar that I can type a movie title into, then press enter and get results that are sorted by most seeders. I then open a few of the top torrents and read the comments on them. Movies.io is pretty but I need to know what I'm downloading.

Why use BB to represent billion, as opposed to one B? Seems unnecessary.
