Eranros and Lord KiRon both used our news submit to tell us that Sharereactor.com has been taken down by the Swiss authorities. Sharereactor was the largest edonkey/emule links site on the net for about 3 years. A few days ago, it suddenly disappeared without further notice.
|  Due to the suspicion of breach of copyright and trademark laws the cantonal judicial Inquiry department of Thurgau has taken down an internet site that served as a link platform for filesharing downloads. A court procedure against the 25 year old owner is underway. The internet site located in Frauenfeld was online for about 30 months and last had over 220.000 hits per day, before it was taken offline by the Thurgau officials. The site, that was working as an anchorpoint for links to downloads of copyrighted and trademarked products, was top rated in search engines. After a complaint from several large corporations, represented by the Swiss association against piracy, the cantonal judicial inquiry department of Thurgau initiated an investigation, seized the servers in Frauenfeld and had the site taken offline.The responsible owner, a 25 year old Swiss proved to be very cooperative in explaining matters at hand. The inquiries continue and will take some time.

Now this is quite a news for me. Being Swiss myself, I thought Sharereactor would be in a safe place here. Seems like I was wrong...
