If The MPAA Takes Down A Dozen Torrent Sites, And No One Notices, Did They Really Exist?

The Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN has a history both of assuming it has much more authority than it really does and in announcing how it has shut down all sorts of “piracy” sites that no one seems to know exist. Lately, it’s been teaming up with the MPAA on such things. The latest is the claim that BREIN and the MPAA have been able to shut down a dozen more “torrent sites.” Except that no one seems to know what sites these were, and there’s no indication that anyone actually used them. As TorrentFreak points out, when sites people actually use get taken down, people start emailing to tell them about it — but no such emails came in with these shutdowns. Kind of makes you wonder just what BREIN and the MPAA are actually doing.
