Mininova needs to Pay up! All illegal Links need to cough up Cash
Ricardo Trejo
The Pirate Bay was just the beginning. No one is outside Batman's...err, I mean the Movie and Music industry's jurisdiction. Mininova, a torrent search engine in laymen's terms, was given an ultimatum: Remove all links to illegal torrents within 3 months, or pay up 1,000 Euro's for each one.
BREIN, an organization that acts similarly like the MPAA and RIAA do, sued Mininova earlier this year and the ruling has come down. Mininova may appeal the ruling.
