Quebecois Torrent Site Under Threat
| Apr 27, 2008
This Quebecois torrent site is apparently under threat by the entertainment industry but intends to defend themselves. Based on the donation scale on their site, it looks good for their defence — as of today, the site has 123% of their target donations! From TorrentFreak says:
In three months time, the Canadian music, movie and TV industries will unleash their combined legal might on a little known BitTorrent tracker. A true David and Goliath battle, the QuebecTorrent case is one that Michael Geist says is “worth watching”, and will have wide implications for all of ‘online’ Canada.
In October 2007, a small BitTorrent tracker called QuebecTorrent was pushed into the headlines, having been targeted by the Canadian music industry. It took threats from the CRIA to force Demonoid overseas, so QuebecTorrent might be forgiven for feeling just a little in the spotlight right now. Not only are they facing the CRIA, but also ADISQ and APFTQ (the TV and movie companies) - and CIRPA.
