What the flying fuck? If somebody scratches my car, I can only sue them for the amount it costs to repair it. Why is the MPAA allowed to charge 1000x the amount of damages? Why are they allowed to exploit, extort, and ABUSE the justice system like this?

They’re organized crime at its finest. Al Capone would be proud.

we should`ve all had alias`s like mr.x sent mr. y something or a peice of something at such and such a time and place but keep peoples isp addresses private or incrypted that would out rule any argument they the copyright holder or artist might have about such a thing as info if it`s incrypted the company could say it was sensitive trade secrets of their business they can`t disclose to any party or member of said party

To the individual who mentioned Mininova…it actually pre-dates Torrentspy by quite a bit.

I first visited mininova back in late 2004 ;). I first used bittorrent on scarywater in 2003…
early adopter here.

About the $110,000,000 fine. There is no way that Torrentspy ever made even a tenth that just from advertising. I know what the advertising revinue is for some big (albeit not as big as Torrentspy) torrent sites, and even extrapolating up to the traffic level TS would have had, it comes in at less than one million gross revenue (not counting expenses) for a site that was around for only two years.
