« Mininova considers appealing in Brein case
Mininova limits its activities to Content Distribution service
Published on November 26, 2009 in Mininova-related news. 93 Comments
Hi all,
Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.
Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.
We launched our Content Distribution service in 2007. This service allows producers and artists to easily publish and distribute their content for free through Mininova. The launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users. For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so. The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.
We would like to thank you for your support. Especially everyone that contributed to Mininova receives a big “thank you!” for the effort! We hope to keep welcoming you on Mininova and our other projects (e.g. Snotr, Dispostable).
Thanks! The Mininova staff
...WHAT IN THE FUCK?!...is this...THE END?!

HAHA sucks for yall. Piratebay was banned from the Netherlands this year by copyright protector Brein and many complaints from other publishers/artists/etc. it has moved ahead to ban other institutions and service providers (such as Mininova) from the Netherlands. Since it has been very successful (also in Sweden) other countries have been appealing to this company to eradicate these programs in other countries.
However, the wonderful thing about the net is that there is always a way to use back doors get passed blocked content. So it will be up to yall to figure this out on your own, if/when such programs that apply to you get banned or restricted.
Have fun!!! =)

the best option for torrents, are private sites like ip torents and bitsoup, atleast ther you get clean torrents and no viruses, but the bad thing is most of this web sites are already full and you can only get in by donating. I been loading from ip torrents for a while now, they used to give ther users invites to send to ther friends but they stoped unfrtunately.

thats true anzy (about private sites), but of all the major torrent sites, i found mininova to be the most "clean" and seeded, even in comparison to the Pirate Bay...I do have an account with demonoid, but i tried checking out the site a few hours a go, it said it was down for maintenance...something along the lines that it'll be down for quite some time :(
and yea Doc...fucking bummer it is :(
