Update: After publication, several sources informed TorrentFreak that several of these infringing URLs are not pointing to any working torrent pages. These sites use different URL structures. This suggests that the reported links may not be accurate. Additionally, our sources could not find the mentioned films on several of the sites today.

Hmm. I doubt a website would change their entire URL structure because Cloudfart got a subpoena.

The filmmaker also represented himself, so I'm thinking this more of a PR stunt than anything else.
