Spanish police have announced the arrest in Alicante of the three administrators of a web site which offered movie downloads on the same day the films were premiered.
Police estimate their profits at more than 30,000 €, with losses caused to the copyright holders put at 535,000 €.
The site in question is named by El Mundo as www.todotorrente.com, which has now been closed down by a court order. It’s reported to have had 4,000 active links to productions protected by copyright, with some 750,000 users every month, and used ‘peer to peer’ technology for file sharing.
