Europol says its latest piracy takedown netted three arrests and more than 30,000 website takedowns.

The operation was part of an 18-country joint effort involving the European police agency and local cops targeting sites that trafficked in both pirated digital content (streaming video, media files, and cracked software downloads) and sale of counterfeit real-world goods and pharmaceuticals.
