BitTorrent Host Loses in Court, Site Moves to Sweden

[zatoicchi]

A hosting provider who refused to hand over the personal details of a torrent site administrator has been told by a judge to comply. EuroAccess who hosted the site Torrent.to must also pay all of the costs associated with bringing the case to court. Meanwhile, torrent.to moved to Sweden, where the site continues to operate.

bittorrent breinUntil a year ago, The Netherlands was considered to be a safe haven for BitTorrent sites. However, due to legal pressure from the Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN, this has changed dramatically.

It started last year when LeaseWeb, once one of the largest BitTorrent hosts, was ordered to shut down the BitTorrent tracker everlasting.nu. This led to a an exodus of BitTorrent sites such as BTjunkie, Demonoid, What.cd and Waffles.fm, some left voluntarily, and others were urged by Leaseweb.

[Aurion]

for sure there are some countries that always hosted Hacking for several years against all those Piracy crap & never reported shut down (I mean countries like Russia,Australia,Cuba ...etc) so there got to be a way out to this
