Communication between Eurofiber and Nforce is currently taking place op this matter.
Motherless, dat had been op Dutch servers voor some time, contained a groot number van videos, including in the "incest" category.
The site made headlines last month following an investigation by CNN, dat found 20,000 videos van men filming their sleeping partners being abused.

The Dutch expertise bureau Offlimits heeft received 142 reports this year alone regarding a total van 12,000 videos op Motherless.
In 25 van these reports, child pornography was involved.
Motherless did niet respond toe inquiries maar quickly removed the child pornography.

"We must niet tolerate online law violations," he adds.
Minister Van Weel van Justice and Security praises the media voor their role in this matter.
According toe him, media attention can sometimes be a crucial catalyst voor action.
In an earlier statement, the director van Nforce acknowledges the many complaints over Motherless, maar points out dat complaints alone do niet mean the site is wrong.
Despite the website's offline status, Motherless could potentially come back online through other avenues, as the domain name is niet registered in the Netherlands.
This could allow it toe be linked toe new servers buiten the country.
