What do allyou illegal downloaders think of this news regarding BitTorrent paying $110 million to the studios?
Studios Win $111 Million From BitTorrent Site
The six major studios represented by the Motion Picture Association of America have won a copyright-infringement lawsuit against the file-sharing website TorrentSpy.com amounting to $111 million. The judgment awarded $30,000 to the studios for each of 3,699 illegal downloads. Faced with the legal burden of defending itself, TorrentSpy shut down in March. The fine is believed to be one of the largest ever involving copyright piracy. Last October a disgruntled former TorrentSpy associate, Robert Anderson, told Wired magazine that the MPAA paid him $15,000 for inside information about the website and that he eventually was able to hack into its email system and deliver banking, software, password and other confidential information to the MPAA.
