With the assistance of the Svea Court of Appeals, the main Hollywood movie studios have landed a triple blow on OpenBitTorrent, The Pirate Bay and site founders Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik Neij. The Court handed out three injunctions yesterday, one of which took the OpenBitTorrent tracker offline.

Since the closure of the Pirate Bay tracker some time ago many folks turned to the OBT Tracker that was "miraculously" included in every Pirate bay torrent to take over the role, with this avenue closed expect the battle to hot up and more global chess pieces to be used in this never ending game.

A lot of the Giants in the BT world are going down indeed. But that is the beauty of the technology. One dies, two show up in its place. They can never stop it.

Me personally I never used the Open Tracker or The Pirate Bay or Mininova etc

As fast as the "giants" run into problems, other pop up. At the end of the day, there is huge global demand for content and if the cartel wont provide, other will.
