WASHINGTON — BTJunkie, a popular file-sharing indexing site, says it was voluntarily shutting down, less than three weeks after the US closure of Megaupload in a crackdown on piracy of music, films and other materials.

"This is the end of the line my friends," BTJunkie said in a brief message posted on the home page of the site on Monday along with the dates of its existence: "2005-2012".

"The decision does not come easy, but we've decided to voluntarily shut down," Britain-based BTJunkie said. "We've been fighting for years for your right to communicate, but it's time to move on.

Whoops, I stopped reading that thread about a day ago.

I think that's it, they know they won't be able to win/don't want to try and risk it.
