TV Torrents Continue Unabated



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 :-P attacked the largest providers of Television torrents. BTEfnet.net was the largest and most popular of the six sites targeted.

While this may have caused a minor inconvenience for some downloaders, it has had little to no effect on the community as a whole. Using sites like MiniNova.org or TorrentSpy popular shows like 24 and Lost are still readily there for the masses. Despite earlier claims it also appears that no one involved in BTEfnet where actually sued, but the MPAA did manage to bring some heat to bare on them and at least get their trackers shut down and host to drop the website.
