BitTracking Site Mininova Considers Appeal After Losing Court Case
Found on eWEEK on Tuesday, 25 August 2009
Mininova, an alternative to BitTorrent tracking site The Pirate Bay, has lost a key legal battle. A court in Sweden ruled the site will face fines if it does not take action to remove links pointing to copyrighted material from its servers.
The court accused Mininova of both promoting the violation of copyrights and profiting from said activity due to advertising on the site.
How come the industry doesn't sue Google for the same reasons, pointing to copyrighted material and profiting from the advertising? Google is where most start their search for whatever they want to download. Especially with the addon "filetype:torrent".
