BREIN goes out on the attack

The anti piracy group BREIN has found fame through its battles with the bit torrent community, they have been responsible for shutting many smaller websites. But now they are looking at the bigger fish, maybe they feel that their approach will succeed where all others have failed.

BREIN who happens to be funded by the film, gaming and music industry are looking at the Usenet community claiming that they are criminals and as such have found that the Usenet users are not happy with that.

However, the organisation keeps railroading through the internet threatening small sites with legal action, these sites cannot afford to go to court to defend themselves, so guilty or not they have no alternative but to close down, this is way that BREIN operates, apparently.
