Mininova.org, formerly the world’s (second) most popular source of bittorrent files has, today, closed its doors to the unruly world of illegal filesharing.
The news popped up on their blog, read the full post for all the info here, but it seems as if they have bowed to some kind of pressure from the Dutch Court of Utrecht, who deemed the site unlawful way back in August.
Mininova will still be running a content distribution service, but this effectively marks the end for it’s pirate-enabling swashbuckery.
Electric Spectre wishes to make clear that it never used the site, and never benefited from it’s easy-to-use interface and helpful community, and as such is not upset by this news and is in no way concerned with finding a site of equivalent quality in the future.
