Anti-Piracy Group Stuns The World With Torrent Site Massacre
Found on TorrentFreak on Wednesday, 14 July 2010
According to BREIN, which works mainly on behalf of the Hollywood studios but has branched out to work for other rights holders in recent times, during the first half of 2010 it shut down a staggering 422 "illegal websites".
We were told that they aren't releasing the URLs of the sites since they only detail those that they take to court and naming them would only give them increased traction and popularity.
We didn't notice, but strangely neither did anyone else.
They probably just shut down their honeypots and fake trackers. Nobody really noticed a decline in filesharing and without a list of URLs to check, the numbers are pretty useless.
