Everybody has bookmarked sites. In fact, it’s a safe bet to say that most people who browse the web regularly have hundreds if not thousands of sites bookmarked in their favorite browser. Sure, having bookmarks is great – you can browse those sites later while you continue to surf.

Another P2P site goes down in flames as popular torrent site Mininova has been forced to comply with the ruling of the Court Of Utrecht. They are now only offering Content Distribution torrents. An official announcement by the site can be viewed at the Mininova blog.

Here’s an excerpt from their official announcement:

Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles.
