BREIN, the Dutch anti-piracy group, has taken down 29 torrent and NZB sites this week although only one, HD-UNiT3D has been named.
Visitors to the HD-U site are now redirected to BREIN'S homepage.

HD-U and the other were hosted in the United States but a BREIN spokesperson said the sites were "directed at the Dutch public and unlawful under Dutch law."
The spokesperson added:

"This year we have made over 600 of these sites inaccessible. Some seek refuge in a foreign hosting provider. These 29 apparently thought that in America they could go undisturbed. That is incorrect.

Through cooperation with our foreign colleagues we can make sites in other countries inaccessible."

In regards to "foreign colleagues" for the recent raid, BREIN used the MPAA.

While it is true BREIN has taken down a significant amount of sites this year, most have been relatively small and unimportant.
