TorrentSpy Shuts Down, Blames 'Hostile' Legal Climate
 

if already posted, well move on ... site is too slooowwwww for a search ...

Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - TorrentSpy, the BitTorrent search engine which was fined $30,000 after losing a lawsuit brought by the Motion Picture Association of America, has closed its doors.

"The legal climate in the USA for copyright, privacy of search requests, and links to torrent files in search results is simply too hostile," TorrentSpy founder Justin Bunnel wrote in a statement placed on the service's Web site.

In December a Los Angeles judged ruled for the motion pictures industry after TorrentSpy destroyed evidence that had been requested as part of a copyright infringement lawsuit.

"We now feel compelled to provide the ultimate method of privacy protection for our users - permanent shutdown," Bunnel wrote.

sweet...hopefully the beginning of a movement.

GOod newsss

Good, fuckem.

TorrentSpy wasn't even US based was it?

Just a lesson about keeping it out of the US.

has nothing to do ... copyright are enforced worldwide, mainly the mpaa ... only China and maybe Russia denies copyright value.

lol yeah we see it being strictly enforced all over, don't we :P

Where's my violin?

noone denies the copyright value, it's just countries where the level of piracy among the private sector is 95 - 99 pct.

Those products are totally unaffordable for the most .. so if you have something you can't afford or you can get it for free, what will you choose?

If you want to enter a market with lower purchasing power, you have to set a lower price, which apparently haven't happened and most of the products are even way more expensive than in US.

Noone will pay 20 pct. of their income for a software or a game.

Not speaking now about the problem of the commercial misuse of pirated content.

I totally host my tube and torrent sites out of the us.

Exactly ...... :2 cents:

Another one bites the dust...

ADG

All those people will just move to the pirate bay now.

Start posting Hollywood movies on the illegal porn tubes...

They need to shutdown ALL torrent and Tube sites.

Anything under goes in Porn > Movie Clips"
