The MPAA are trying to bring a broarder net around the whole pirating network so it encompasses host providers and ISP's by stating that they all knowingly let a crime happen. Using a companies trade secrets is as far as I know a crime. How does buying these trade secrets from someone committing a crime not have at least an equal link between them and the crime as an ISP and the crime of pirating.

So a third-party paying $15,000 to someone inside a compagny (or whatever TorrentSpy was) to provide personnal infos from the database isn't illegal!? What the hell? That call that spying. They probably had to deal with a stupid judge. Wow!
