The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has
forced German download Web portal "The Realworld" to shut down after intense
legal pressure. The site did not host any copyrighted files, but provided ed2k
links that can be used to find content on the eD2K network. “TRW is under legal
attack and forced offline for the time being,” says the site, that specialized
in TV episodes. The operator is now appealing for donations for “legal defence”.
