This isn't a victory for mpaa, it's what happens when you ignore the courts and do as you wish. It's not like mpaa will ever collect or these guys will ever be in jail.
Exactly.

Same thing. So I'm not sure how they will ever get rid of torrents or whatever comes after torrents. They seem to be going at it completely wrong.
Exactly.

Everyone who thinks if the MPAA won a court case against torrentspy for hosting a search engine would be a good thing. You're far off your rocker. If it became possible, in the court of law, to make it illegal to simply provide a service showing you were and how to find something. The entirety of the internet would go under scrutiny. Just think about the people in power right now, and the bat shit insane agendas or legislation against the adult industry. Can you even wrap your head around the problems we'd face, and every other form of internet media?

Trying to take down a search engine. It blows my mind when I see backwards ass politics attacking a problem completely wrong. It's crazier to witness the people who thrive and conduct business online. Trying to say making a search engine illegal would benefit the online world. It would be a disaster, plain and simple.

Now I'm not trying to defend torrents, or torrentspy. I'm simply saying anyone who's rooting for the mpaa is a fucking moron.
