BREIN Nukes 75 BitTorrent Sites

[SlyckTom]

BREIN has apparently taken down no fewer than 75 Dutch based BitTorrent sites, as reported in their press release today. The 72 sites were part of an elaborate hierarchy and made money from preferential treatment related to donations. With BREIN on an enforcement roll in the Netherlands, it's surprising that any BitTorrent operator would continue operation in such a climate.

"The sites were managed by several different people but all made use of the same model that they got in franchise from the same person," the press release states. "The sites made money by giving preferential treatment to users that paid a ‘donation’. Such users were enabled to unlimited download of illegal content for a period. Never before were so many illegal peer-to-peer file sharing sites taken down simultaneously."

BREIN would not divulge who the lead BitTorrent site/individual was.

According to BREIN, the civil enforcement action was taken against Allmypower.org, Luckytorrents.org, Allmymovies.org, Digi-tor.org and Seederstor.org - amongst many others.

“Clearly this is an organisation aimed at illegally making money by systematically organizing the theft of other people’s creative work through a chain of relatively small sites”, says BREIN director Tim Kuik. “Knowingly linking to illegal content is illegal. These sites did so structurally. They are party to a crime.”

If BREIN's press release is accurate, the 75 sites were a tightly organized money-making machine. The sites were taken offline through a civil complaint to the fiscal police, however, BREIN states their investigation is ongoing. Additionally, further action may be taken as information provided by BREIN, especially about the operation's leader, is furnished to the police.

So 72 sites I've probably never heard about were taken down. I feel deprived somehow.

Yeah, this is probably sad news but still a good thread, lot's to laugh about as well as 72 sites we've never heard of...
BREIN has no BRAIN..

[BillyGates]

It makes me think someone just registered 75 DNS names to the same physical site... and they take down 1 physical site and claim it was 75...

You do have a point.
BREIN might've done it for all you know..

[hiro81]

Wha-wha-what? You mean in these times of global economic downturn some not-so-genius set up a scam ring of bit torrent sites and was caught-out? I am shocked and amazed such a thing could ever happen... next they'll be trying to convince me all my good friend the exiled prince of Nigeria is really a scam artist too. Silly old Brien, always spinning some bullshit story or another....

Hye, not all countries and not all people have been hit by the recession.

Hye, not all countries and not all people have been hit by the recession.

There are billions of made up dollars floating around the global markets... little scammers like the ones behind these sites are nothing compared to the multi-level ponzi schemes more than a few billionaires have been able to pull off (or not, as the case may be).

[rsrikanth05]

And some of those scams are visible already...
Take this as an example: The owner of this webhost called FlaHost.com is based in US, and can still afford to give stuff away for as cheap as fleas and dirt...
