Mexican Authorities Shut Down 'Sunnydale' DC Hub

Attorney Generals’ Office gets ISP to terminate hub's internet connection, but reports are oddly devoid of any charges being filed.

A DirectConnect Hub, identified as "Sunnydale", has been shut down by Mexican authorities. A hub is a computer server primarily dedicated to facilitating the exchange of copyright infringing content by indexing the files available on network participants’ computers.

The Mexican Attorney Generals’ Office (PGR) acted on information supplied by the local industry anti-piracy group (APCM Mexico).

The PGR asked the hub's ISP to terminate it's Internet connection and it apparently complied without legal challenge. The hub has shown no sign of activity since 3rd July and is currently offline and unavailable to its users.

The Sunnydale Hub had more than 1.5TB of copyrighted material, and required users to contribute a minimum of 2 GB of content to be connected.

Oddly enough however, is that there's no mention of legal action being taken against the hub's administrators which clearly violated Mexican copyright laws.
