[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/cityoflondonpolice.jpg[/img]While BitTorrent can be used to distribute files as small as a single image, the protocol is much better suited to shifting larger files, video in particular. Nevertheless, millions of music tracks are shared every week across hundreds of torrent sites, mainly in full album form. Of course, due to its efficiency, entire discographies are easy to find too, as are weekly packs of the Billboard Top 100 and the UK’s Top 40. However, following action by police in the UK today, those in the music industry will be hoping that these large packs will be harder to find. According to news just in from the UK’s Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) their officers were in action early this morning taking down what they believe to be a prolific music pirate. Following a joint investigation with licensing outfit PRS for Music, officers from PIPCU and Merseyside police raided an address in Everton, Liverpool. Their target was a 38-year-old man believed to be involved in the unlawful distribution of music online. In addition to uploading the UK’s Top 40 Singles to various torrent sites on a weekly basis, police say the man also ran his own website offering not only regular tracks but also acapella versions. Police claim there was a commercial motivation, with the man generating “significant” advertising revenue from his endeavors. “Today’s operation in Liverpool demonstrates how PIPCU are prepared to travel nationwide in the pursuit of those suspected of being involved in the illegal distribution of content online,” said City of London Police Detective Inspector, Mick Dodge. “This is a crime that is costing the UK creative industry hundreds of millions of pounds, money that not only supports the artists but the thousands of technical and support staff working in this sector, and PIPCU is committed to working with partners nationally and internationally to target those involved.” Simon Bourn, Head of Litigation, Enforcement and Anti-Piracy at PRS for Music, said that music piracy continues to have an impact on those who contribute to the creative economy. “We’re committed to partnering with PIPCU to enforce against illegal services that are not willing to work with us towards a legitimate licensed model, and which continue to exploit our members’ work without permission,” Bourn said. At this stage police have not named the arrested individual but sources familiar with the situation have informed TF that the man is a regular uploader to KickassTorrents and The Pirate Bay and has uploaded hundreds of torrents in the past five years. Further investigation by TorrentFreak led us to a website offering acapella content as described by FACT, linked to a man in the Liverpool area. It certainly doesn’t look like a huge operation but PIPCU claim the man’s actions “could be costing the music industry millions of pounds”. The man is currently being questioned at a local police station. Several computers have been seized.

[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/pirate-twitter.png[/img]In common with many other online services, copyright holders regularly ask Twitter to remove tweets that link to pirated material. If a user decides to post a link to a pirated blockbuster or music track there’s a good chance that it won’t be online for long. In addition, the Twitter user may have his or her account suspended. The latter happened to the accounts of Spain’s largest torrent site [url="http://www.elitetorrent.net/"]EliteTorrent[/url] and the linking site [url="http://www.bajui.com/"]Bajui[/url] recently, both following a copyright holder complaint. However, both accounts had refrained from linking to pirated material. The takedown notices in which the accounts were targeted were sent by the Spanish company [url="http://golem.es/distribucion/"]Golem Distribución[/url], who own the distribution rights of the film “Cut Bank.” They both reference tweets where the title of the film was mentioned alongside the film poster. In its copyright and DMCA policy Twitter explains that it takes action against “tweets containing links to allegedly infringing materials,” but EliteTorrent and Bajui didn’t post any links, just text and a film poster. [b]The Elitetorrent tweet[/b] </br>[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/censoredtweet.png[/img] Morphoide, the founder of the Elitewebs Network which includes both EliteTorrent and Bajui, initially thought that the tweets were flagged because of the image. However, the DMCA notice makes no mention of this. Instead, Golem Distribución accuses the accounts in broken English of distributing the film on their respective websites, not Twitter. “According to the protocol of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act): We have noted that the websites own, is offering free downloads and/or streaming of the work ‘CUT BANK’ belonging to GOLEM DISTRIBUCIÓN,” the notice reads. [b]The DMCA notice[/b] </br>[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/dmcagolemtweet.png[/img] Morphoide is disappointed with Twitter’s decision and informs us that he specifically chose not to include any links to avoid this kind of trouble. “There were no links in the tweets. I stopped linking a long time ago because I didn’t want my account to be suspended for doing so,” Morphoide says. Apparently even tweets without links can be flagged and both sites have had their accounts [url="https://www.twitter.com/elitetorrent"]suspended as a result[/url]. This means that thousands of followers are gone, just like that. The site’s founder says he has lost faith in Twitter and doesn’t intend to appeal the suspension.
