  BitTorrent Inc. Changed Its Name to Rainberry
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  BitTorrent is without a doubt one of the more recognizable technology brands of the century. It, therefore, comes a surprise that BitTorrent Inc. has changed its name to Rainberry. According to the company, it's strictly a "corporate decision," but a more detailed motivation is lacking.

  ISPs Win Landmark Case to Protect Privacy of Alleged Pirates
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  Two Danish ISPs have won their long-running battle to prevent the identities of alleged pirates being handed over to copyright trolls. With the trolls' activities being described as "mafia-like", ISPs Telenor and Telia argued that IP address logs should only be used in serious criminal cases. In a ruling handed down Monday, one of Denmark's highest courts agreed, stopping the copyright trolls in their tracks.

  Do You Take Your VPN Security Seriously?
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  Millions of people use a VPN service to prevent outsiders from monitoring their browsing habits or other Internet traffic. Choosing a good and reliable VPN provider is a good start, but there is more to it than that. People have a responsibility of their own and should hold their VPNs accountable.

  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  A California federal court has denied Cloudflare's request to exclude evidence related to its termination of neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer from the upcoming piracy liability trial against ALS Scan. The CDN provider fears that mentioning the site at trial could cloud the perception of the jury, but District Court Judge George Wu was not receptive to this argument.

  Epic Settles With Copyright Infringing Fortnight Cheater, PUBG Cheaters Arrested
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  Fortnite and PUBG are two of the hottest games of the moment. While the games are similar, the same can't be said for how cheaters are treated. This week Epic Games settled another case against a copyright infringing cheater, without any damages. At the same time, several PUBG cheaters have been arrested in China, and slapped with millions in fines, according to local authorities.
