"255 GB downloaded and they still can't keep me down."

Is that it? I download an average of 5-10GB per day, 365 days per year (With the exception of network outages and time spent only seeding to boost my ratio)

255GB is a drop of piss in an ocean of piss to me. But well done.

Back on topic, what the fuck? That's fucking bullshit. Where's the recourse for hiring a hacker to steal fucking information of the people you're suing? I would have kicked those fuckers out of my court room if I were the judge.

Torrentspy should move to Cuba and keep on trucking. I'm sure the Cubans wouldn't enforce the fine, for a small donation! That would majorly piss off the MPAA.

T.Spy should appeal. There's no way the MPAA should have won that lawsuit, considering their main evidence was obtained illegally. That's bullshit on a scale I haven't seen in a long time.

FUCK TORRENT SPY!

I know that's sac-religious of me to say since we're all for piracy on the net, but TSpy bent over backwards when they gave in and restricted all US users...BIG MISTAKE!!! The music/movie industry smelled blood.

capvosslar they did that to try and keep those torrents going for the rest of the world... you can go other places.

Gotta love it in Britain, if they ever obtained information like that, whether it be against a tracker, or an individual user, it would have been dismissed immediately.

As an RIP im gonna go download as much stuff as possible from the pirate bay... maybe even stuff ive already got, just cos i can :)

Fuck the MPAA

tspy wasn't run by the smartest of motherfuckers. I know this because I worked for them for quite some time. Still, 111 million god damn dollars is a lot to put on those guys.

Hope that thing with 'ray jay' worked out for ya, Wes... lolz

Poor tspy :( Its how I found shoutwire.

Also as I was writing this comment, I got auto redirected to some car insurance website, with no "continue" or "skip" button. Happened when I clicked on an article too, went to some jackpot thing and couldn't move on to the article. What the fuck is going on guys, I thought this shit was fixed?
