TTi taken down etc.

Today TTi was taken down by the swedish APB (Swedish anti piracy agency). The site had about 25k users and were sharing about the same amount of torrents. Seems like running a torrent tracker in Sweden nowadays is getting harder and harder.

Raids against two file-sharers
The police did during Tuesday raids against two people in Växjö and Borås suspected of copyright infringement. The operation was directed against the site www.tti.nu.
According to prosecutors to site www.tti.nu have made ​​available thousands of works, including films, using Bittorrent technology. Servers suspected to contain the site’s tracker, database and web site have been seized. Two people sitting on Tuesday arrested but has now been placed on large. Both deny the crime. According to prosecutor Frederick Ingblad, more people are assumed to have been involved in the operation of the site. Notice that led to the raid was made ​​by the APB.

On another note, a user has notified us about TBH's (The Black Hand) former CN's (Cosa Nostra) non existence. We've been waiting for their v2 tracker of TBH for almost half a year. We have not heard anything nor do we expect to hear anything soon. So we hereby declare CN/TBH dead once and for all.
