Web-hosting company BurstNET, which recently shut down service to Blogetery - a Wordpress platform that is used by over 70,000 blogs –, has said that the suspension of service to Blogetery came at the behest of an unidentified law enforcement agency.

Noting that BurstNET had no choice but to terminate service, the site’s managers said in an e-mail to Blogetery: “Blogetery was terminated by request of law enforcement officials, due to material hosted on the server. We are limited as to the details we can provide to you, but note that this was a critical matter and the only available option to us was to immediately deactivate the server.”

Despite the fact that BurstNET has neither let out the name of the law enforcement agency nor has it disclosed what issues brought about the termination of service to Blogetery, the TorrentFreak blog – which basically covers issues related to Web file-sharing - has apparently broken the story.

As per a TorrentFreak report, the reason behind BurstNET’s suspension of service to Blogetery apparently pertains to copyright violations. The blog also added that the US government may be involved as part of much-intensified antipiracy operations.

According to TorrentFreak, almost three weeks back, a group of federal law enforcement agencies - including the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – took custody of assets and Web sites belonging to people reportedly operating illegal file-sharing sites.
