p2p news / p2pnet: Entertainment cartel functionary Tim Kuik, boss of the Dutch anti-p2p organization BREIN, says he and his crew are about to attack “dozens” of indexing sites.

“It appears the pseudo-revival of SuprNova.org, under the guise of NewNova.org, has spurred this latest action,” says Slyck, quoting from Holland’s NRC Handelsblad, and going on:

“NewNova.org is a virtual carbon copy of the old universal BitTorrent’ listing site. Sloncek, the administrator of SuprNova.org sold the site’s code to a “friend” who in turn established the new site. Over the course of the last two weeks, the site has enjoyed growing popularity. This growing popularity appears to have irked BREIN.”

Slyck says it looks as if NewNova.org will be BREIN’s primary target, followed by TorrentSpy.com, Snarf-it.org, MiniNova.com, Demoniod.com, with TripTorrent as a possible.

But, “MiniNova.com may escape legal action,” adds the story. “They are registered in the Netherlands; however this indexing site resides elsewhere.”

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 political representatives. 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.
