Re: let me get my checkbook said by Chiyo:If I ran a torrent site and had to play against the MPAA I sure as hell wouldn't pay 'em who has that kind of money laying around? Either way can't they get an appeal for stupidity of the court? since when can a judge order you to spy on your own users for the gain of a cooperation? Didn't read the article? The MPAA won't be getting any money and the judge didn't order them to "spy on [their] users", they were ordered to turn over *documents* (what kind of documents isn't mentioned), which they refused to do.
TorrentSpy’s lawyer wants people to know that the business is bankrupt (after closing shop in March) and won’t actually be paying the fine. The reason he considers this important is he wants other businesses in this position to realize that the MPAA may flaunt this as a win but that it’s not necessarily so cut-and-dry. In addition to the fact that the MPAA won’t be getting any money from TorrentSpy, it’s notable that the fine was imposed only after TorrentSpy refused to turn over documents to the court and not as the result of what was actually found to be copyright infringement. This means that the case shouldn’t be considered precedent for other torrent sites...

| They were ordered previously to record the contents of the Memory, most likely the fine was due to them blocking all US users, and not turning the logs of the international users |
