Bolt_Gundam510 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 by ErnestoOver the past months the TorrentSpy crew has made several drastic changes to their website. They have stopped hosting .torrent files, and even banned US visitors. However, this is not enough according to the MPAA who has filed another complaint and asked the judge for sanctions against the popular BitTorrent site.In August, a federal judge ordered TorrentSpy to log all user data stored in RAM. In a response to this decision - and to ensure the privacy of their users - they decided that it was best to block access to all users from the US. However, the MPAA now argues that TorrentSpy is ignoring the court decision.TorrentSpy, once the most visited BitTorrent site on the Internet has already taken some serious hits from the MPAA and are now facing another attempt to try and knock them out for good. Earlier this week we reported that TorrentSpy’s traffic, and thus their revenue have plunged after they banned US visitors, but it seems that the movie studios wont stop until the site shuts down completely.In court documents obtained by CNET News.com we read: “(TorrentSpy) took steps to make the Server Log Data unavailable for the express purpose of avoiding compliance with the (court) order. This claim should be seen for what it is: another illegitimate attempt by defendants to evade authority of this court and the May 29 order.”And to make it even worse, the MPAA has now asked the judge to rule that the .torrent links offered (not hosted) by TorrentSpy are illegal and infringing copyright - which is an absurd demand of course.TorrentFreak asked Justin, the founder of TorrentSpy, for a response and he told us: “They are attempting to distort the fact that we have never logged user actions on the site into something entirely new and different. Lets put this into playground terms:”PUNK: “Teacher! His friends hit me!”TEACHER: “Did they actually hit you? How many times? When? Where?”PUNK: “I have no idea! I think they did though – I just don’t like him!”BOY: “I didn’t hit him. My friends never did either.”PUNK: “Make him start tracking his friends! Where they go and what they do.”TEACHER: “OK. Start tracking them.”BOY: “Well since you bring it up, my friends don’t even go to his school…”PUNK: “Waaaaahhhh! He is a meanie! Punish him!”I guess we all know who the punk is here. Stay tuned!Source: Torrent Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'd do everything in my powers to cloak their servers as to make it difficult to pin point. But if that failed I'd have to tell them to FUCK off. I wouldn't shut down until they took all my shit and put me in jail. :fool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
