UK-T Shut Down For Good, Database Deleted

After sharing using BitTorrent increased rapidly in popularity during 2004/2005, the MPAA could wait no longer and moved to pressure and shut down several sites. Bragginrights, ShunTV, Btefnet, CDDVDHeaven, SciFi-Classics and Zonatracker served around 100,000 users between them, and were all targeted with lawsuits in May 2005. Earlier in the year moves were also made against LokiTorrent, s0nicfreak and TorrentStop.
