eDonkey sees close seven servers through IFPI
The international association of record companies IFPI has gotten seven German servers of eDonkey offline. Through the past year judicial steps in France, Germany and the Netherlands to undertake, can more than a million users no longer download via the popular P2P-programma.
The closing comes there after an action of the German IFPI-division. Earlier this year there were all large actions in the Netherlands and France. Through the legal exacted closings, the number went down of users of the downloadnetwork already with a third.
“These actions show the effect of anti-piracyorganisaties”, says Jeremy Banks, head of the anti-piracyafdeling of IFPI. “Our organization has a team full experts that the origin of illegal material can trace so the legislator at to set the material of the internet to get.”
Jo Oliver, head of theirs 's legal division speaks yet heavier language. “The men that the servers let turn, damage logical the rights of artists and their record companies. He who has Server such, paints a target on its forehead and will the legal consequences carry!” He who otherwise the website of eDonkey visits, gets to see a similar errand.
Temporarily there have been planned no similar actions in Belgi. “One and a half year back we posted source large successes to get through the servers of Razorback in Zaventem offline. Insofar as we know, stand it no similar servers more in Belgi. In the Netherlands, there is says source a stronger concentration”, Nikolaas De Belie, PR-responsible by IFPI.
