Dutch "Mininova" deletes all illegal torrent and declares legalization

The Dutch Torrent distribution site "MININOVA" announced on Tuesday that it will delete all illegal torrent and change the policy to a site that distributes only legal Torrent.For the site, it is a "historic day."

Mininova was the world's largest Torrent distribution site.However, some of the distributed Torrent linked to illegal files that infringe copyright.As a result, BREIN, a Dutch organization opposing pirate acts, filed a lawsuit against Minnova, and Mininova lost it.

Mininova stated on the official blog that there were only two options, whether to stop miniova services or limited to content distribution services.

Mininova declared that it would be 100 % technically or operationally impossible to filter uploaded torrent and delete torrent, which links to illegal content.We decided to limit our business to content distribution services.

The MinINova content distribution service "Content Distribution" was launched in 2007.This is a service that can register only the copyright owners and individuals and upload Torrent.It is fundamentally different from the mechanism that anyone can upload Torrent as before.However, all registered content must be DRM -free and can be downloaded for free.

By registering with Mininova, the content holder eliminates the cost of securing the bandwidth according to the distribution, so you can easily search and download it on the MinINova website.

As a successful example, in Minnova, the Dutch band "Silence Is Sexy" registered the album in Mininova and gained popularity.He has a track record.

Mininova is expected to lose many users in the short term due to this decision.These users would have been aiming for pirated Torrent.However, despite the fact that the number has decreased, miniova is still a top -class site that can get a lot of legal quality content.It will greatly contribute to the soundness of the Bittorrent community.
