Torrentspy going Bye Bye
Hello Friends of TorrentSpy,
This message is to inform you about recent efforts by the motion picture studios to shut down TorrentSpy. As you may know, in February 2006 the major movie studios and their Washington lobby, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), filed a lawsuit against TorrentSpy and other search engines. We guess that hiring hackers and turning a blind eye to identity theft is not enough for the movie studios and the MPAA. Now they want to know who you are, what you search for, and what you download. In short, it is the view of the movie studios that websites should not allow anonymous use and your activity on the Internet - anywhere - is their business. The really scarry thing is that if we lose this court battle, the movie studios will be able to go after any search engine or website and force them to collect data about YOU. It is not an exaggeration to say that losing this fight is a nail in the Internet's coffin. We have spent the last year challenging their relentless campaign against the 1st Amendment and personal privacy laws Worldwide. We have succeeded in delaying the court order to turn on logs while we appeal it. TorrentSpy will not create logs of what you do on the site without your consent. While we use Google Analytics for website statistics, TorrentSpy servers have never tracked your IP Address, the searches you make, or how you use the site. We are dedicated to your privacy and we are fighting for your rights! www.torrentspy.com aka their going down the tube like suprnova did. farewell torrentspy you shall be missed! :cry::cry::cry: |
i heard about this earlier today on the news, only it sounded more like they were only going to not serve patrons in the US. :shrug:
who knows? |
Hypocrites. Bah to MPAA. Nothing but Hypocrites. All of 'em.
|
Leave it up to the government to go along with the whole thing because the MPAA has a lot of money and they don't wanna tick them off.
DAMN THE MAN!!! SAVE THE EMPIRE!!!!!!! |
