Swedish trackers shuts down

[shipwreck]

This is actually down to the implementation of EU policies, other EU countries have already passed similar bills years ago. The Swedes just seem to be in a 'shock' atm, since they were used to be a relatively 'safe haven' in these matters. And most importantly, the drastic, plain ridiculous first verdict in the TPB case has caused exactly what the lobby groups intended - unease, fear and sheer panic.

It will go away.

as if i care :|

Actually, not to start a heated debate over this... but, that's a pretty poor attitude to have. RIGHT NOW it may be only sweed trackers but, as i see it has major implications on the rest of the world, which includes YOU too! .. this is just the beginning many more trackers will go down for sure, and new trackers might not be appearing as was mentioned(with the "HYDRA" effect theory) .. with the TPB ruling, authorities will feel validated and will further pursue more and more.. The EU's recent views/laws are taking effect and more proposed to actually put limits on what you can do on the net is freakin shocking and wrong.. that's like telling a fat person they can't only eat 2 carrots and 3 green beans a day ..

Things are changing and it's NOT for the better.. just wait..

SoftMP3 closed down, along with Swebits (the tracker part) this is a sad day for me... :/

Swedvdr's owner has decided to close the tracker in a week after receiving an e-mail from antipiratbyrån.

havn't heard of this one.... but it's not surprising..

There is this lime-green, semi-public tracker with a userbase of a million or more. It's hosted in a country right next to uncle Putin, a country where the international content lobby mafia has yet to win a battle. So for all the Swedish siteops who are worried these days, and think about closing down their trackers, what about moving your servers to this land of milk and honey? Just a thought.

First SweBits, then SoftMP3, now SweDVDR? When will it all end?! These admin are doing exactly what big media wanted, and this is a very sad time for torrenters everywhere...
