Mininova Starts Filtering Torrents

Posted by timothy on from the afterthought-beforetrial dept.

Dreen writes with this snippet from TorrentFreak: "Just a few days before their court appearance, Mininova, the largest BitTorrent site on the Internet, has started to filter content. The site is using a third-party content recognition system that will detect and remove torrent files that link to copyright-infringing files."

    Mininova collapses. How Mininova went from being the largest BitTorrent site to being the smallest.

    Like a Suprnova collapsing, but with a smaller burst of radiation beforehand.

    I think it's good to have a legal torrent site that hasn't the risk of being closed down associated with it.

    Wow...

    What little sympathy I may have had for them is completely gone. It's one thing to disagree with some law, but obscenities and insults are just out of line.

    Morons.
