MPAA / RIAA Search and Destroy

It used to be that the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) was the main villain in the piece when it came to suing customers to ‘persuade’ them to buy ‘product,’ as its junk output is called.

Not any more. The Big Seven movie studio cartel is now on the same self-destructive path.


We’ve heard from several sources that the studios’ psychopathic hunger to kill all BT sites hasn’t been satiated by its closures of LokiTorrent and Sprnova.


And separately, Raymond Blijd in Holland tells us there are signs the FIOD – under orders of Brein, the RIAA’s oppo in Holland – is gearing up for more raids on the remaining Dutch sites.


“I’ve seen the notices and my instinct tell me that FIOD will be better prepared after their last debacle,” says Blijd. “This time they won’t focus on money but on logs.”


FIOD-ECD is the Dutch agency assigned to the criminal pursuit of fiscal, financial and economical fraud – as well as being the MPAA’s tout in The Netherlands.


Early yesterday, catflap told us UK-Torrents.com had been hi-jacked in a manner identical to that of LokiTorrent.


That’s to say it, too, is now carrying another studios’ Fuck You – We Call the Shots page. And they haven’t even bothered to change the url. When you enter UK-Torrents.com, it shoots you over to lokitorrent.com.


And the same gos for Torrentz.com
