Mininova buries pirate booty in its index, aims to go legit

Popular BitTorrent site Mininova is undertaking a drastic transformation in an effort to legitimize its services by purging all torrents that enable access to copyright-protected content. File-sharing enthusiasts view this as a major blow to the vitality of the BitTorrent piracy ecosystem. The move will bring Mininova into compliance with an August ruling in which a Dutch judge ordered the site’s operators to remove links to infringing content within three months.
