Australian P2P Sites Disappear Overnight

Posted by samzenpus on from the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In the wake of a raid on an Australian ISP, local P2P site operators are shutting down operations in droves, according to community site Whirlpool. The raid was the result of an investigation by Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI), who claim they have a number of targets lined up for future raids. Overnight, a number of sites have shut down or been shut down, and ISPs are reporting major drops in bandwidth usage."

    "Australia: Where trade agreements get us all the ass-pummelling corporate-sponsered IP laws from the US, without all those pesky rights and freedoms." That's why they had to take away your guns first.
