Judge Hits TorrentSpy With $111M Damages
By
In what has to be mixed news for anyone who uses a BitTorrent client, Judge Florence-Marie Cooper of the U.S. District Court awarded the judgment to the Motion Picture Association of America, the MPAA announced late Wednesday. The court entered a default judgment against the operators of TorrentSpy in December, saying they had destroyed evidence related to an MPAA lawsuit against them. Ahh, TorrentSpy, we hate to see you go – at least you didn’t take down your members though.
Last May, another judge ordered TorrentSpy to keep server logs, user IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and other information in support of the MPAA’s lawsuit against the site. Cooper ruled in December that TorrentSpy had ignored that order.
