Troubled BitTorrent sites which moved to fairly high-tech Malaysia
were confronted by shut down notice and that their servers have been
suspended by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs,
under the Copyright Act 1987.
Among the affected sites are
Extremebits,
Rapthe,
Superfundo
& several others.
Torrent sites have been taken offline, other sites dealing in
pirate material had also been suspended after the government
decided to act on mounting copyright-related complaints.
Prominent Malaysian host Shinjiru confirmed the closures,
telling TorrentFreak:
“We can confirm that this is accurate. We had enforcement officers
from MDTCA visiting the office to confirm the closure of BitTorrent sites
hosted on our network.
We will comply to all shut down instructions from the
Local Authorities or agencies with warrants or documents.”
Update: Contrary to comments from a site admin,
sources close to the situation are saying the shutdowns are limited
to a small number of sites and aren’t necessarily part of a
wider crackdown, despite government involvement.
MpAA must had issued a complaint
for ur information, youtube took down lots of
Korean movies & dramas & users accounts
due to complaints fr Korean film studios e.g
Showbox/Mediaplex, Inc ...
