I don’t think he could take legal action, they did not steal the domain and he had nothing to do with the site, or its layout for years. He was just the person funding the domain. The uploads were not by him, they were uploaded by the community. They put the money into running their own domain and took the sites design and community, which, arguably, was created by them.

I have to agree with Cyberxion. Box never seemed like the sort to do that.

This is a blatant theft of a community by some staffers. In reality there could be legal actions that could be taken if Box so chose. While the staffers had a right to change the Boxtorrents site for the benefit of that site; they illegally stole information that belonged to Boxtorrents. Then used that information to start their own site.

I would support Box if he chose to take legal action against the staffers.

Hmn. Just read the link you posted, and I wonder if this isn’t all just a huge publicity stunt. One way or the other, things don’t add up here. Box was way too genial for someone who had his legacy stolen out from under him, and the staff seemed all too eager to let him have his say. It was all a little too nicey-nice for any of it to ring true to me.

Hey dude who wrote this piece. You seem to have come to the conclusion that Box is guilty. I find it incredibly amusing how easily people’s minds are swayed. The fact is that we have nothing to go on but the word of two folks who, if I’m being fairly honest, appear to have taken the site out from under Box in order to get in on the supposed fat loot that Box was alleged to have stolen.

These tools offer absolutely no solid proof that Box did anything wrong. In fact all they did was reference the existence of some “script” that allowed them to suss this all out, when for all they know the funds could be sitting in Box’s Paypal account, awaiting such a time as they’ll be needed.

While I likewise have no proof that these clowns stole the site for less than altruistic purposes, I have an uncanny ability to see through bullshit. I have a very strong feeling that the greedy parties are the ones that stole Box’s legacy out from under him.
