No torrent site on earth is more popular than Mininova. Surprisingly, however, all the legal pressure seems to have been focused on sites such as The Pirate Bay. Mininova - against all the odds - appears to have stayed under the radar. All that changed today as Mininova is now facing legal action by Dutch anti-piracy agency, BREIN.

they want to filter mininova's search results...

filter = censorship = bad :frown:

of course there are a lot of BT indexes around the net but not being able to count with mininova is a step back... :confused2:

Well, first torrentspy now Mininova. Seems like those search engines are becoming a popular target of anti-piracy organizations.

But I think Mininova will win the case. They don't host any illegal staff or have an own tracker. But I'm really curious about this one. Let's see how it end :smile:
