TorrentFreak tracked down what appears to be the user in question. Responding to the verdict, the man, whose name is not made public, deleted his account as well as all uploads. Refusing to do so will result in a €2,000 fine per day, with a maximum of €50,000. The court agreed with BREIN’s assessment and ordered the uploader to stop sharing pirated content on KickassTorrents ( pdf). In addition, his efforts help frustrate the growth of legal services such as Spotify and Netflix. Most torrents were targeted at the Dutch public, including a full season of The Walking Dead and the film Avengers: Age of Ultron, both with subtitles.īREIN argued that the man’s infringing activities were causing irreparable damage for the various copyright holders involved. A Breda court ruled in favor of BREIN in an ex-parte case against a 20-year-old student, who uploaded over 750 torrents to KickassTorrents. This month these efforts led to another victory for the organization.
The Hollywood-backed group doesn’t target random file-sharers but focuses on prolific uploaders, who share hundreds or thousands of files. Netherlands-based anti-piracy group BREIN is one of few such outfits to directly go after both the operators and users of pirate sites.
