Tens of Torrent Sites Smashed by the MPAA

[Guest Ethan]

The mighty MPAA has joined forces with Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN to take down more than 50 torrent websites. From these sites 12 were within the U.S. and the rest international – the anti-piracy organizations filled copyright infringement complaints with the sites’ hosting providers.

So far no specific names of the sites have been given probably since very often file-sharing sites brought down by anti-piracy groups resurrect under different TLDs .

You probably remember the massive take-down action at the end of the last year when the Department of Homeland Security targeted more than 70 sites. This and other similar actions have alerted file-sharing sites and pointed them new directions to follow – for example, file-hosting service

RapidShare hired a Washington lobbying firm to help them fight legislative efforts to sanction companies that don’t take reasonable measures to prevent copyright violation.
