CBC interviewed Gary Fung, the man behind Isohunt.com. Isohunt was recently sued by the MPAA, but planned to fight back.

Gary is glad his voice is heard:

I’m glad CBC gave me the opportunity to voice our stance, what we do and why the MPAA is after us. Media distributions are converging and decentralizing at the same time on the internet, and it’s an issue the general public should be aware of, many of which doesn’t know what P2P or BitTorrent is yet. Instead of suing each other, we should be talking about how we can use internet technologies and new forms of communications made possible, to the benefit of us all.

You can check out the stream over here, the interview starts at 26.45
