p2pnet - rss feed: BREIN behind ‘close down’ order
p2pnet.net news:- Holland’s BREIN, a kind of combined MPAA/RIAA enforcement unit, says thanks to its efforts, hosting company Leaseweb must shut down a private torrent site hosted on its servers.
BREIN, short for Bescherming Rechten Entertainment Industrie Nederland, “is perhaps best known for shutting down Dutch eDonkey 2000 link giant ShareConnector.com in December 2004,” says the Wikipedia.
But, “Due controversy over the legality of links to illegal content, and a lack of quality in the evidence provided by BREIN, the case has not been put to trial yet. After being offline for two years, ShareConnector reopened in December 2006.”
Now, a BREIN puff piece says a Dutch court has also ruled the identity of the owner of the web site, Everlasting.nu, must be divulged, says HostSearch.com.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
