That is sad... what were they doing that was illegal? I thought the shows there were fine.

it's semi-legal... but closing them down seems a bit harsh, and just when they had reached 100,000 members too.

Men in expensive suits are trying to scare us into giving them money again.

The lawyers got all upset about one of the torrents:

"The offender was torrent # 30630, NIRVANA 08/30/1992 Reading Festival
Complete PRO Shot DVD. In particular the title "Smells like Teen
Spirit", rightowner: Universal, claimed through Universal Music GmbH,
Germany, and pro MediaGmbH (exclusive partner of IFPI in Germany)."
