Multiple Police Raids Take Down BitTorrent Tracker
This week, police carried out co-ordinated raids targeting more than 10 locations in Germany following claims from the GVU (German Federation Against Copyright Theft) that movies and software were being traded, including a computer game that had been distributed in advance of its official market release date.More here.
The searches carried out at Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Saxonia-Anhalt and Thuringia yielded a 38 year old man already known to the authorities, who is now under suspicion of being the administrator of the tracker. At this point, the tracker name cannot be confirmed.
It was reported that the suspects maintained servers with large storage capacities and fast upload speeds. Computer systems and large amounts of data were seized during the searches.
