Loki puts donations toward $1m MPAA payoff

What really happened to the ultra-popular Bit-Torrent site, LokiTorrent? A million things. Previous months before the sites shutdown, they were asking for donations to help against legal battles. They raised over $40,000 in that time.

“Muff Torrent has lost the fight for your rights to freely share on the internet,” the site says. “All donations to this point have been spent on legal fees. Any future donations will be spent paying off remaining bills.”

It’s easy to argue the use of ‘fight’ in that statement. Weber settled out of court. If you donated money to LokiTorrent, it was apparently used to craft document 3:04-CV-2642-N available in PDF format from P2Pnet here. If you traded on LokiTorrent, Muff Torrent or any other Webber owned site, you paid a lawyer to turn over your identity and evidence of your file-trading to the MPAA.
