Stumble it!

A court decision reached last month but under seal until Friday could force Web sites to track visitors if the sites become defendants in a lawsuit.

Something seems...off about this court desicion. The judge is ordering torrentspy to do something that web sites are not, originally, required to do (log visitors). The judge is ordering torrentspy to log it's visitors, and then give the logs to the MP/RIAA from what it looks like...isn't there a federal statute that prevents judges from issuing court orders that would cause any party to create self-incriminating evidence that can be used against them in future legal matters? Especially since, once again, the action the judge ordered T.Spy to do isn't requied by any federal, state, or municipal statute for lawful operation of a web site?

The MPAA and RIAA are the enemies of communism. No one gets shit without throwing a quarter or a dollar or your left nut on the table first.

They can just put the 'Entrance' in another country, that redirects back to torrentspy.
