Court records: MPAA sought info on PirateBay founders
Found on CNet News on Friday, 25 July 2008
TorrentSpy may be gone but its attorneys continue to allege in court that the motion picture industry engaged in a spying campaign against the company as well as others, including the Pirate Bay.
TorrentSpy's attorney, Ira Rothken, said last August: "We believe that the MPAA, when it paid $15,000 for about 30 pages of e-mails, knew or should have known they were involved in purchasing something in a wrongful manner."
Of course they didn't know. If they did, they would have had to admit so in court.
