Well Mininova got done by some courts ruling so therefore they have to limit their files that are shown to only be their Content Distribution service.

Mininova limits its activities to Content Distribution service
Published on November 26, 2009 in Mininova-related news. 93 Comments

Hi all,

Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.

Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.

We launched our Content Distribution service in 2007. This service allows producers and artists to easily publish and distribute their content for free through Mininova. The launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users. For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so. The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.

We would like to thank you for your support. Especially everyone that contributed to Mininova receives a big “thank you!” for the effort! We hope to keep welcoming you on Mininova and our other projects (e.g. Snotr, Dispostable).

Thanks! The Mininova staff

Soooo there ya go...

Just saw it myself. End of an era

TPB, isohunt, fenopy and sumo are all good sites. Also check out rlslog.net (finally sorted their server issues, but watch for the fakes)

Sumo is like torrentz, dont know if they verify as well///

Well thats fuked i used to use demonoid they have been off for a couple of months now and my next source is mininova ffs fuk fuk fuk grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Ill have to check some of those other sites out i suppose, Cheers for the links

ive always used isohunt, never had an issue with them and there's always heaps of seeds

im with open, isohunt ftw

Thanks for all the porn links Ed

The p2p revolution came about because of people smart enough to negate the current legislation and deliver that which the people want and it will always continue to happen, it may not be in the form of torrents but it will evolve to take into account the recent changes, these acts by the P2P companies is to save face in front of the law, admit defeat and raise the white flag, but i guareentee many minds are already hard at work to deliver us the next evolutionay phase of P2P...

lets all go back to usenets woohoo

Fuck usenets, BBS FOR THE MOTHER FUCKING WIN

I miss L.O.R.D and Violet.... (only a couple of you may get this reference )
