hey they are multi-national corporations, not American. They are pretty much Anti-American if you ask me. They cheat and steal from consumers and taxpayers and then call US criminals!

[...] this has happened, but the IFPI somehow convinced Swedish hosting company Itstaden/ServerConnect to simply hand over the hard drives of one of its hosting customers, LimeTorrents. The IFPI apparently has been pressuring ServerConnect for moths, claiming that it [...]

And then IFPI would sue lime torrents for conspiracy to defraud and we’d have multiple judicial battles running. I doubt lime crew has financial muscle to face the IFPI. It’s the old despicable tactics of suffocating your enemy. Financially. Let’s see what happens.

Well, hardware seized by private entities will never stand as evidence. You can claim they planted fake data to hold you liable and end of the story. I agree 100% that we need follow ups on the BREIN case (and this one too).

Wonderful informative work so far TF ;)

I’d say they bet the disruption would be big enough to make them go perm offline. Which obviously failed even though the backup lime used was fairly old. This may actually teach lime torrents admins to backup more frequently ;)

But let’s not forget they might be trying to get access of the site user database. What they could do with it is up for speculation.

Well, even if the hardware was all rented from the company (making the ISP the actual owner of the stuff) there must be some sort of clause (contractually, law-wise or whatever) that protects the person using the hardware in question.

It’s a story worth following.

They returned all the stolen hardware. Damaged. Wonder if they got sued for that? TF?

Ah, so there was no connection with LimeTorrents sudden disappearence right after you published the article the CRIA and One Soul Thrust. I had wondered, because I was doing some work on another article of my own, and I wanted to dig through their database, and suddenly they were gone.

FYI, the CRIA isn’t going to be very happy with me :)
