Torrentz.eu loses its original domain due to police intervention The British police have taken action against the BitTorrent search engine Torrentz.eu. However, the authorities were unable to close the offer themselves. At the instigation of the British Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit, the original domain was switched off. Authorities and rights holders have been working together for several months to switch off websites that refer to illegally copied content - most of them are portals that reference file-sharing networks. In a first stage, letters were sent to the respective site operators asking them to convert their service so that it works legally. They later turned to domain registrars to switch off the pirate bay, piratebay, pirates bay, the pirate bay, thepiratebay As a result, Torrentz.eu was hit, the magazine TorrentFreak reported. For a few hours now, the DNS entries for the domain no longer point to the actual server. The offer itself is still active and can be reached via the alternative addresses Torrentz.ch and Torrentz.me. The operators informed the magazine that they would now like to check whether the block can be lifted or whether they should switch completely to a new domain.

This is also an unusual goal. Because while the authorities otherwise primarily focused on special collections of links to files in BitTorrent, this was about a meta search engine. The police action is not without controversy. While some registrars willingly submitted, some also came up against resistance - for example from the Canadian company EasyDNS. Their boss, Mark Jeftovic, believes that it is up to the courts to shutdown a domain, not anyone on the Internet who sends email.
