Administrator Lite Posted December 19, 2007 Administrator Share Posted December 19, 2007 Online file-sharing service TorrentSpy.com is liable for extensive movie piracy because it destroyed evidence in a copyright case, a federal judge has ruled, handing a victory to Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures and other studios.TorrentSpy operators Justin Bunnell, Forrest Parker and Wes Parker were held liable for infringement because they deleted important case files and gave false statements, said the ruling by U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper in Los Angeles.The defendants "engaged in widespread and systematic efforts to destroy evidence and have provided false testimony under oath in an effort to hide evidence of such destruction," Cooper said in the Dec. 13 order, adding that sanctions were appropriate in this case because of "extraordinary circumstances."No date was set for a hearing to determine damages.
