Re: [News] TorrentSpy ordered to pay studios $110M
said by unoriginal  :I read that Torrentspy plans to appeal the verdict. Two questions: Who is paying the lawyers handling this case? And why bother since the site has shutdown already and clearly doesnt have the money to pay the judgement against them? The MPAA probably knows they won't see a dime. They wanted to "send a message". 
Lawyers? Who knows, maybe pro bono?
"This substantial money judgment sends a strong message about the illegality of these sites," MPAA chairman and CEO Dan Glickman said. "The demise of TorrentSpy is a clear victory for the studios."
Whether the MPAA will collect the $110 million from TorrentSpy remains to be seen. Court records show that Valence and TorrentSpy principles Justin Bunnell and Wes Parker have filed for bankruptcy.
