Earlier this month, and right in time for Sweeps, the period each fall, winter, and spring when television ratings are accrued and studied and advertising rates are reset, the MPAA 
attacked the largest providers of Television torrents. BTEfnet.net was the largest and most popular of the six sites targeted.
