The New Freedom blog has more details on exactly what went down.
Apparently not only was Sin Afaik, the owner, arrested, but some of the moderators are getting questioned as well, about their “organized crime” activities. eep! Plus there’s talk of a fine of £100,000,000, “which FACT are saying is what the industry lost as a direct result of the site.” Ree-dee-ku-lus. Organized crime is drug trafficking, human trafficking, terrorism. All of which warrant more investigation than geeks that help other geeks watch tv shows online, when they probably should be doing something else. And there’s a lot of investigating going on, because the moderators aren’t all in England and the servers for the website were in the Netherlands? Weird.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. they should really go after people who are hurting others instead of people who are just helping others.
i mean. when are they going to go after people who post torrents?
sigh.
