Brandi_B Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) Quote Published on November 26, 2009 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. Link Their new requirements are: Quote * You are (or your company is) the copyright owner or publisher of quality content. * You would like to distribute your content for free. * You agree that you will not upload DRM-protected content or spam. http://www.mininova.org/apply I discovered this b/c all my album torrents were suddenly gone. But I can re-upload them (which I will) since I own them, but have to sign up for a content dist. account (which is still free).

Brandi_B Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) also, if you haven't noticed demonoid has been down for some time. I really like demonoid for finding good music and really want to get mine on there. All this doesn't bother me that much since I buy all my software, but as far as music goes, i support (even being an artist myself) 100% being able to download and find any music you want, and finding other ways to support artists, or just donate to them via paypal which a lot of big name artists have caught on to.

I like it all mixed together :) But yeah, there's plenty of other options, but mininova i have always liked b/c its a nice layout, not a whole bunch of ads, and has pretty decent seeding, unlike tpb which is pretty big but has turned into grab and no seed.

Rubin Farr Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I thought most video files had moved to rapidshare type services, and I only find rare musics on slsk anyway.

goDel Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 i like http://www.torrentz.com/ as some sort of meta-torrent search site. if mininova or the piratebay stop posting the good stuff there's always other places which end up uploading it.

kaini Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) everyone will just switch to magnet/DHT links and membership only sites. the trend present at the moment cannot be stopped. either the MAFIAA faces up to this fact, or they will die.
