    Owner of Oldest BitTorrent Site Arrested In The UK

    The owner of the website FileSoup, one of the oldest BitTorrent websites on the net, has been arrested today. Police, backed up by the MPAA-backed UK agency FACT, conducted the raid today.

    The heavy handed approach has received further criticism after it was alleged that the owner of FileSoup was denied his phone call and legal representation for up to 7 hours after the initial arrest.

    FileSoup was first opened in 2003. It does not operate a tracker and does not host any copyrighted material, simply torrent files.
