Joint raids by police in Belgium and Switzerland have shut down a popular file-sharing server.
The Razorback2 server was part of the Edonkey file-sharing network and was used by a third of the system's users.
The server held an index of 170 million pirated files, said the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
In the raids, the server's Swiss owner was arrested and the Razorback2 machines were seized from a Brussels-based hosting firm - BBC News
Whether you agree with file-sharing or not this seems a worrying development to me. The fact that you can be arrested and have your server shut-down for simply indexing pirate material is quite scary. Let's be clear - Razorback simply indexed files and had no knowledge of whether the files were legal or illegal. They did not host a single illegal file.
So how long before Google is shutdown? After all, Google must also index some illegal files. When are the heavies going to arrest Larry Page and confiscate all his equipment?
