torrentfreak.com — Mininova.org has won the transfer of the mininova.com domain in a dispute, and successfully put a scammer out of business. The .com scammer has been a thorn in the side of mininova for a long time. Thousands of people who signed up at mininova.com were charged money without ever receiving something in return.

@rpgactionI'm not sure what situation you were talking about exactly but back then, it was probably reasonable for that little guy to have that domain. This scammer, on the other hand, registered mininova.com knowing that the site's popularity would draw many unsuspecting victims to him. FFS, he charged them money and when they tried to log in, they got redirected to .org. Say what you want but this is a clear case of malicious domain squatting and I see no hypocrisy in it.And didn't something similar happen to suprnova back in the day?

Not all torrents are illegal. Torrenting is just another way of downloading a file which cuts out the server.
