Isohunt to help form a coalition against .torrent distribution lawsuits March 1, 2006
Posted by Robin in : Policy and Law, Uncategorized , trackbackisoHunt has received an official lawsuit letter:
It’s official now, lawsuits have been filed against us and all the sites as mentioned in MPAA’s press release. I have to say I am impressed by the depth of their legal research, evidently their lawyers have been watching us for at least a year, since we exchanged letters last year. However, their core accusation is false. We do NOT operate this search engine and other P2P services for the express object of infringing MPAA’s copyrights, there are many other torrents of content we index that are not owned by the MPAA, copyrighted or non-copyrighted. We would comply with DMCA takedown requests, given sufficient identification. Which they did not.
They are forming a coalition with the help of Torrentbox, as well as other sites that have been sued, and are yet to be sued.
Anyone who is supporting Linux knows torrents are needed for Linux distribution to survive. Let’s fight back! Please digg this story and donate funds at http://isohunt.com/.
