The largest BitTorrent indexer in the world, Mininova, decided to remove all torrents from the sites, except for those uploaded through its Content Distribution platform. The decision comes after a court decision which forced the site to remove all infringing torrents. In the face of legal consequences and with no practical way of determining which torrents were infringing and which weren’t, the site made the move to remove all torrents except those from the verified uploaders. <\/p>\n
“Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles,” Mininova announced on its blog today. <\/p>\n
“We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment,” the post also read. <\/p>\n
