Newzbin reactivation
In the second half of May old NZB Newzbin service users began to receive messages that the service will be reactivated. Group claim to have the source code, database and domain, which has been traded to a company registered in Seychelles.
In the previous article I described why the service was shut down. Unfortunately, an organization representing the interests of the U.S. film studios won in court and Newzbin had to suspend activities. The company also has no money to pay sizeable damages and court fees.
At a time when the world surrounded with information about the site closure has also appeared on rumor of the break-in servers and steal the source code and databases. Strange coincidence, huh? The same was true of the Pirate Bay – information and access to it should be free.
Groups in contact with former service users is called Team R Dogs or Newzbin2 and announced that:
The crew got most of the original Newzbin source code and the main databases. We loved it too much to let it die.
If this team manages to restore the operation of the website will flick on the nose given the film production companies, having spent a lot of money and lost a lot of time to process and close the service not to mention the joy of thousands of users the service.
