Closed the largest Latvian torrent tracker

The largest Latvian torrent tracker file.lv stopped working about a week ago, and various strange rumors immediately spread over the network. And the other day the information was confirmed - the site creator was arrested, a criminal case was filed against him. His assistant faces a fine of up to 40 minimum wages. The police just came to the hoster and took 3 servers, and then at the same time she visited the most active project uploaders, who also confiscated computers. It did not even help that the tracker was registered as a company and even paid taxes to the state.



The closing, apparently, was prepared in advance. The police called the hoster more than once, and some even say that among the uploaders there was a “misleading Cossack”. Now in the hands of law enforcement agencies there is information about tens of thousands of tracker users, each of whom they can in theory visit. And I am among these users.



It is believed that the closure of the project is due to its active political position. In my opinion, the guys went overboard with slogans and anti-Latvian propaganda.

The rest of the trackers are now divided into two camps. Some heeded such a warning from the Latvian Association of Music Producers (LaMPA), others continue to work. Either everything will be limited to file.lv closing, or a full-scale war against piracy is waiting for us.
