NZB site logging?

[djkemp1]

so this site 'could' be closed down then if they felt it was hosting illegal files?

No, because they arn't; but they are 'hosting' NZB files, and that has been used in the past to shut others down (like I said, simply with waving an order, not from a court or judge, kinda like what the riaa/mpaa do evey day).

It has been a bit of a wonderment to many as to why Newzbin hasn't been served, but it is assumed they have either deep pockets, are hosted in some jurisdiction that frowns on 'extra-legal' means, or both. But if you closely read the agreement governing this site, you'll see that they have crossed the t's and dotted the i's on several attack routes, but that doesn't really mean it's a perfect defense; and those sites may have been doing something above and beyond what folks thought, and got caught at it.

One thing I know that one of those sites was doing was holding a 'contest', rewarding those with uploading more nzb's, but don't know if that was the kicker that did it; but literally a couple weeks after they started that promotion, zap!
