raids or arrests were made. Brein suggests there are hundreds of topsites worldwide, of which two thirds are located in the Netherlands. The administrator of the site would also sell download accounts with a limit of 400GB for 40 euro a month. This made Tweakers question whether Brein really infiltrated the site or they got the information for free. A week earlier a scene notice attacked the collaboration between TV Land and SceneTorrents. The NFO file showed smokin1 (admin of TV Land), I recommend you to close your insecure p2l/p2p site within 24 hours, or I will provide all Dutch anti-piracy organizations all information about the site, including complete releases list and sufficient proof to get the site busted, you have been warned!. Tim Kuik, the managing director of Brein, told Slyck.com that TV Land was penetrated before the release of the notice. A year later, SceneTorrents (ScT) announced they are shutting down for good on November 29, 2009. The 20,000 members had to find a new site after 4.5 years on the respected and well-connected private BitTorrent tracker. An invite was hard to find. Rumours said the shutdown was related to the raid on topsite LOOP two days earlier, which was (supposedly) one of SceneTorrent's main content provider according to insiders. Other rumors said it could be a planned operation unrelated to the topsite. Later a staff message on the site said it was due to pending legal issues. Members of their staff were arrested and they declined to comment any further on the situation because of the criminal proceedings. On November 27, Brein got the ranked topsite LOOP taken down. Two servers with a total storage capacity of 40TB spread over 28 hard disks were raided at their hoster in Amsterdam. The site was hard to access because you had to be invited by a staff member. Kuik says there are only a couple of hundred similar sites worldwide. On December 16, 2008, less than a month after TV Land, Brein took down yet another topsite. Sparta had 65TB of content, so Brein could claim again to have taken down the largest topsite ever. Hong Kong Customs uncovered a case when "copyright industry representatives" tipped them off in June 2009, resulting in the first case in Asia. Apparently, an international syndicate for unauthorized distribution used a topsite to download and then distribute copyright-infringing items such as movies, music,
