Can anyone else corroborate this?

This in connection to the very shady company named targetpoint, which by proxy has an affiliation with the pirate bay (one alleged former employee has a 37% share of tpb) spells out that perhaps this tracker is a whole lot more profitable than what the owners are letting on. Swedish media has only scratched the surface of what targetpoint and it's many subsidiaries are doing, but my guess would be that they're generating revenue off the releases from the scene, something that pisses off most people that engage in filesharing.

Perhaps, as it seems, those aformentioned organizations are unaware of Reader's Write's First Rule of Escalation, namely "Two may play at this game (of yours)".
