Last week the dutch anti-piracy company Brein pressured several torrent sites to quiet. If they did not quit they threatend them by taking down the host. So the provider would be paid up instead. TorrentFreak charges Brein last week, but no more information was been taken. Now Leaseweb gives in the torrent sites like mybittorrent.com, btmon.com, btjunkie.org, seedpeer.com, what.cd and waffles.fm have to look for a different host in just one week. Source TorrentFreak.
State me clear, Leaseweb is an ultra fast hosting company and I think they really wanted to protect their other customers. A bit poor (read a real pity) for the torrent sites, I hope they find an good hosting who will stand ground. Not all torrent sites have illegal stuff! Leaseweb, you are a good hosting company, but I think you had to stand ground to this fact. Now it looks like all torrent sites are criminals. 
I know why you did, still sad. Brein is happy and continue pursuing torrent sites.

The webmaster of shareConnecter is been charged. His site was taken down 2 weeks earlier, but Brein is frightend he just starts again. So demanding a high fine would solve the case… Well, that’s it for today’s politics.
