TorrentSpy shuts down


 


After a long fight with the movie industry TorrentSpy shuts down.


In 2006 Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) accused TorrentSpy of encouraging movie piracy. In June last year a federal judge ordered TorrentSpy to provide information about its user, TorrentSpy tried to protect its users and blocked access from U.S and the judge decided that TorrentSpy intentionally destroyed evidence in the case. The company was fined earlier with $30.000 for ignoring the court orders and after another decision TorrentSpy is forced to pay damages to MPAA.


The judge ruled in the favor of MPAA because TorrentSpy destroyed evidence. Also MPAA ruined SuprNova.org and LokiTorrent, and currently IsoHunt is fighting with them.
