    Just came across this, interesting read.



    Hi everyone!

    We would like to update you about the following matters.
    Lawsuit

    First of all, the Dutch anti-piracy organization BREIN has announced to begin a full proceedings lawsuit (Dutch terminology: ‘bodemprocedure’) against xxxxxxx. BREIN demands that we implement a filter on xxxxxxxxand take responsibility to prevent possible copyright infringements being taken place by our users. We discussed this matter with BREIN for a long time, but we couldn’t agree as their demands are both disproportionate and invalid.

    The lawsuit will likely take several years and will take place in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Our case will be defended by Christiaan Alberdingk Thijm of KaZaA fame and VIta Zwaan. We will proceed to court with full confidence, and defend our unique position in the BitTorrent world and our current copyright policy. The court decision will be important for many other community-driven websites, like Google and YouTube.

    As a side note: please know that we do not provide user information to third parties. For you as a xxxxxx user, nothing will change for now. More press coverage: English or Dutch.
    5 billion downloads

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx LOLcatIn other news: we passed the mark of 5 billion (5,000,000,000) torrent downloads yesterday. The previous mark, 4 billion downloads, was reached in February this year. TorrentFreak has full coverage on this story.
