Anti-piracy group BREIN reports that the .nl and .eu registry took voluntary action against several 'pirate' domains.

I hope more people migrate over to I2P. Personally I am slowly cross seeding my library of high res Linux ISOs.
Who’s behind this new push to stop piracy? The NFL? It’s gotta be coming from somewhere.
I’d bet money it’s the soccer industry.
