TorrentSpy ordered to pay the MPAA $110 million

Comments

Sure

"The demise of Torrentspy is a clear victory for the studios and demonstrates that such pirate sites will not be allowed to continue to operate without facing relentless litigation by copyright holders _IN THE UNITED STATES_ ".
Not all countries of the planet are as restrictive and anti competitive as the US. Torrentspy was an indexing/search site. None of the files were hosted on their servers. With the same train of thought you could sue Google because it's an even better torrent search site than Torrentspy was.

Pointless

They should appeal, thats just madness. How these charges are justified is beyond me when they don't actually share anything. I think I'll go sue Toyota for selling that car the hit my car the other day. Actually I'll also sue the dealership that sold the car to that lunatic.

Hmm then I'll sue the dealership again for not giving me the personal information of all their customers so I can sift through and sue each of them for driving recklessly! Even if, maybe, someone else was using the car when it got in a accident.


The law suit is pointless in the end because much like my scenario new dealerships will pop up, probably 2 for every 1 that goes down since other sense the opportunity to make a dollar.

Chasing Ghosts

Don't these people realize that closing down big sites will do nothing to the multimedia pirating industry? The USERS are the problem, and since they are also the consumer, it can never end. I guess if the MPAA and RIAA keep getting their money, they don't really care that is continues. They just want the money. Problem is, the artists aren't going to see any of that, which is sad.

It makes you wonder, who is the real enemy?
