So it seems the end for warez/ddl/torrent sites is getting closer.
What seems to have started today domain registrar's are being forced to reveal your private whois information via DMCA law.
Upon further checking i can confirm other sites are being targeted by this i won't reveal them here due to the owners real information showing.
This isn't the first time domain registrars have handed site owners information over, A few years back Namecheap handed over the information of the warez site "SSwarez.com" to legal authority's. ( http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/files/sswarez_complaint_final_121708_2_2062582.pdf )
So is the start of something bigger? Well it seems so.
i will be keeping a close eye on this and will post more information as it comes to light.
