Finnish police raid BitTorrent site, arrest 34

The Motion Picture Ass. of America (MPAA) today announced (PDF (http://www.mpaa.org/CurrentReleases/2004_12_14_WwdeP2PActions.pdf)) that it is pursuing civil actions against hundreds of server operators of BitTorrent, eDonkey and DirectConnect P2P file-swapping networks, in its war on internet movie piracy.
In addition, the MPAA is co-operating in criminal investigations with police in Finland, the Netherlands and France, so it is reasonable to infer that reports of raids in more European countries are likely to surface shortly.
