Suprnova.org closes

Suprnova.org, a bit torrent file-sharing service, is the latest bit torrent file-sharing service to close down, after music and movie industries launched a strong of high profile cases against server operators where file sharing via bit torrent servers was allowed.

According to the report, Popular BitTorrent site shuts down after flurry of suits

Last week, movie studios sued more than 100 operators of U.S. and European sites that host BitTorrent links but did not name the defendants.

Suprnova.org was the most popular repository for links to files that could be downloaded using the BitTorrent program.

Another site that carried BitTorrent links, N4p.com, said it had shut down due to a civil complaint that cited the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Torrentbits.org and Phoenix-torrents.com also shut down.

Still, there were plenty of sites with BitTorrent links alive on Monday, including a “mirror,” or copy, of Suprnova.org.
