Torrent Site ‘Franchise’ Eliminated by BREIN | TorrentFreak
-
Two months ago, 75 sites involved in this franchise were already pulled offline, and this week the remaining 19 followed.

BREIN, who previously said that the man was involved in an organized piracy ring, will report the man to the FIOD-ECD - the Fiscal Investigation Unit of the Dutch Police.

“This is clearly an organization that aims to make money illegally, with a chain of smaller sites that aims to systematically steal the creative work of others,” Tim Kuik, managing director of BREIN commented. He further said that the people who are responsible for the sites will be held accountable for the damages copyright holders suffered.

At first glance this seems to be a huge victory for BREIN, but the whole takedown operation probably took only one email. From the looks of it, the sites were all hosted at amenworld.com. The webhosting company, which cooperated with BREIN before, is likely to have responded to a takedown request, pulling the sites offline all at once.
