Torrent Freak
TorrentFreak is a blog dedicated to reporting the latest news and trends on the BitTorrent protocol and file sharing.
The website was started in November 2005 by a Dutchman using the pseudonym "Ernesto Van Der Sar". He was joined by Andy "Enigmax" Maxwell and Ben Jones in 2007. Regular contributors include Rickard Falkvinge, founder of the Pirate Party. The online publication eCommerceTimes, in 2009, described "Ernesto" as the pseudonym of Lennart Renkema, owner of TorrentFreak.
According to Canadian law scholar Michael Geist, TorrentFreak "is widely used as a source of original reporting on digital issues". Examples are The New York Times The Guardian, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, or the Flemish newspaper De Standaard.
