The famous website Torrentz.eu, the biggest searching machine torrents στο Διαδίκτυο, είναι πια παρελθόν, μετά την suspension της από το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο. Το domain name της ιστοσελίδας σταμάτησε να λειτουργεί μετά από αίτημα της Αστυνομίας Εγκλήματος πνευματικής ιδιοκτησίας, ένα τμήμα που έχει κάνει πρωτοσέλιδα σε όλο τον κόσμο μετά την αποστολή επιστολών προς τους ISP σχετικά με διάφορες ιστοσελίδες torrent, ζητώντας τους τον αποκλεισμό τους, χωρίς να υπάρχει καμία δικαστική απόφαση.
London Police have been working with copyright holders for many months now, and are looking for ways to shut down torrent sites or any site with links that lead to piracy. content.
To begin with, they send warning letters to the owners of the web pages asking them to close them or begin deleting pirated content.
Last week, the FileCrop search engine was shut down by the police, and Torrentz.eu followed today. The websites are not only inaccessible in the UK but also worldwide when the domain provider shut it down following the request received from the British police.
According to TorrentFreak, there is hope that the suspension will be lifted shortly. Of course, the Torrents.eu administrators did not have their hands crossed, as the search engine is already running on the Torrentz.ch and Torrentz.me domains.
Please note that Torrentz.eu does not host torrents like Pirate Bay.
According to ICANN's regulations, registrars can not close a domain, even Authorities believe they may violate the law unless there is a final order Court.
It seems that in the case of Torrentz.eu this was not really necessary.
