Mininova Starts Filtering Torrents

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.

Maybe they can download the video of him hiding the body from Mininova???

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.
