File-Sharing Site Mininova Loses In Court

Mininova rivals Sweden's The Pirate Bay as the largest index of BitTorrent files, software that can be used to trade movies, music and computer games.
In Wednesday's ruling, the Utrecht District Court agreed with Stichting Brein, a Dutch-based organization funded by copyright-holder groups, that Mininova was inciting users to violate copyright.
