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."

    ah yes, now it seems one can get mod points just from parroting [citation needed] without having to contribute anything themselves, brilliant!

    It's interesting to see the pirates on Slashdot gnashing their teeth that a torrent site is filtering out copyrighted materials. According to most of you, torrents were always used for good, to distribute Linux distros and such, so what's the problem?

    Oh, wait, you were lying because you didn't want to lose the free ride.
