BREIN Shuts Down Torrent Release Group 2Lions-Team


Recommended Posts

Anti-piracy group BREIN has won ex-parte injunctions against several members of the Dutch torrent release group 2Lions-Team. Together with several other members, the trio must pay damages totaling €67,500. In addition, they have agreed to remove thousands of torrents that were shared on popular sites such as The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents and ExtraTorrent.

uploadDutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN has been very active recently, targeting various release groups that frequent popular torrent sites.

Yesterday the Hollywood-backed group announced another victory after obtaining ex-parte injunctions against three members of the torrent release group 2Lions-Team.

The three members were ordered to pay €2,000 in damages each. In addition, BREIN reached out of court settlements with an undisclosed number of 2Lions-Team members, bringing the total damages amount to €67,500.

2Lions-Team has uploaded thousands of files to popular torrent sites including The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents and ExtraTorrent. The group published a wide variety of titles including movies and TV-shows such as The Revenant, Making a Murderer, The Walking Dead, as well as several local titles.

According to BREIN the group is responsible for uploading thousands of torrents, some of which were downloaded over 470,000 times. As part of the settlements, most torrents have now been pulled offline.

Indeed, several “2lionsteam” related accounts and their torrents have now beendeleted from The Pirate Bay, ExtraTorrent and other sites.

The release group’s own website is no longer functioning either, but points to a messages from BREIN instead.

“Making copyrighted works available through torrents is an unauthorized reproduction and publication which infringes on the copyrights and related rights of BREIN affiliated rightsholders,” the message reads.

Judging from recent BREIN pursuits, the anti-piracy group is not interested in bankrupting any of the uploaders. For the level of the settlements in this case, BREIN says it took the financial capabilities of the 2Lions-Team into account as well.

Over the past several months BREIN has been pursuing uploaders more aggressively and this trend is expected to continue.

Last week the anti-piracy group was granted permission to monitor IP-addresses of torrent users on a broad scale, suggesting that it will also target individual BitTorrent users who share pirated content on a regular basis.
