Torrent Sites lose .eu domain

[Ifirst]

Several BitTorrent sites including Torrentz and Fenopy have had their .EU domains put on hold by EURid, the European Registry of Internet Domain Names. The new status for the domains, forcibly applied by EURid within seconds of each other yesterday afternoon, suggests that legal action against them might be pending and prevents the owners from making changes.

“Recognizing the global nature of Internet crime, this year the IPR Center partnered with Europol, who, through its member countries, executed coordinated seizures of foreign-based top-level domains such as .eu, .be, .dk, .fr, .ro and .uk. This effort is titled Project Transatlantic and resulted in 31 domain name seizures,” ICE announced.

Yesterday afternoon the statuses of Torrentz.eu, Fenopy.eu and BTscene.eu were all forcibly changed by EURid, the European Registry of Internet Domain Names. Rather than being simply marked as “registered”, the domains were flagged as “on hold”.

Do the torrent sites have more money to bribe the authority or Hollywood have more money?

Seems like you don't know much about, how to get something done in India..

Let me sum it up for you -- 'JUGAAD' period

What a shame, the internet just get's smaller and smaller these days..

Yup. I don't have in-depth knowledge about how things are done in India. But logically speaking, if torrent sites think they can bribe their way through, what makes you think that hollywood won't do the same and bend the outcome to their favour? And I'm sure hollywood yield more influence ($$$) here.
