Just weeks after four defendants involved in The Pirate Bay case were found guilty of breaching copyright, and with a court date of their own looming, the folks behind Mininova announced they’ve begun running a content recognition trial to detect and remove copyrighted material from the site.The system will also prevent said torrents from being re-uploaded to Mininova later on.
The mechanism was provided by the copyright holders themselves who want an easier way to get torrent files removed than the current DMCA takedown procedure.The collaboration does not mean they are off the hook from a court case against Dutch antipiracy organization BREIN later this month, but Mininova certainly hopes
it will better their position.
