Where is their right against self-incrimination? Every company I've ever heard about doing something wrong has allegedly destroyed their own evidence against themselves and simply blamed the loss of data on incompetence rather than intention. Not to mention the Bush Administration. In the majority of those cases, they may have been charged with evidence destruction but never lost their defense case based solely on the fact that they wouldn't prove their own guilt. Just more proof that justice isn't equally administered.

Too bad for TorrentSpy. They chose to commit a crime by destroying evidence that could have convicted them, so they should be charged with two crimes.

The only reason they would waste disk space by storing logs of every search/download is for police use. Why everybody always assume that all services log everything? Because Google does? Also, wasn't in this case that a judge asked for the contents of the RAM memory of their servers? Now they conclude that it was destroyed. Pathetic.

TPB FTW!
