The site offered movie downloads on the day the films were premiered
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.
Also closed are a sister site, www.trackertdt.com, and gamesfive.
