I've been racking my brains for about 10 minutes and can't think where I read it but I was searching for info about XBOX modding and saw the front page story on one of these sites and this guy said his friend in france had had his server raided by the police and was pretty shook up and had taken his server offline - I think it was a pretty big one. But the day after SN is down... Why don't they just roll over and give up? There's always gonna be pirates, there's always gonna be people who don't wanna pay...

Findlaw is hosting the .pdf of the Dec 14th action...

Findlaw Special Coverage: Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)

You'll find that the action specifically was targeting BitTorrents servers... to gain immediate discovery to prevent erasure of the evidence (ie, sieze the servers.)

Looks like it only took less than 10 days (signed Dec 9) to grab the machines, that quite fast for an international case.
 
isnt it ironic how you use bit torrents but mock those that create a product similar to the ipod? here we have theft of product design and theft of end product. is there a difference?
