Anti-Piracy Group BREIN Demands Torrents Time Cease and Desist

Posted by timothy on from the what-did-you-expect? dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Not even a week has gone by since Torrents Time appeared on the scene, and the site has already been served with a cease-and-desist letter. Anti-piracy group BREIN, based in the Netherlands, has deemed the streaming tool an "illegal application" and demands the administrators "cease and desist the distribution of Torrents Time immediately."

    Immediately tie up anyone who creates a method to distribute material over the internet in lawsuits.
    Force them to consume all of their time and income in legal fees
    Guarantee that after they are decimated, several hundred anonymous, hidden services with the same agenda will surface with far greater impact.

    Since we're suing tool makers why not go ahead and sue the makers of the auto dialers telemarketers use. That would greatly cut down on the telemarketing calls we receive. Save us all a lot of time and money.
