The Swedish Antipiratbyrån enforced their ISP control rights today, not going to the police but instead contacting the Swedish news show 'Rapport' disclosing that they'd found a major hub on top of the piracy chain. The gist was that the server running the hub was placed at SICS, the Swedish Institute of Computer Science, renown research institute partially funded by the Swedish state.
Seems like Blizzard has adopted the BitTorrent protocol for distributing large files. If you are intersested in downloading their 'cinematic trailer' http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/trailer/ of World of Warcraft you first download an application that starts a BitTorrent-like download of the film itself.
