This past weekend, information was raised about the MPAA going after popular file-sharing site TorrentSpy, demanding that they begin tracking their users. If this were to happen, it would be a bad day for site visitors. TorrentSpy responded by stating that they would never track their users.. ever. Now, the MPAA is on them again, claiming they are withholding evidence.
The question remains, what is going to happen to TorrentSpy? Not much, at least right away. The Pirate Bay has had an insane amount of legal trouble, but they are still alive and kicking. TorrentSpy still voes to never share information, but the next few weeks are going to be interesting.
The judge stayed the order on Friday to allow TorrentSpy time to prepare an appeal, which must be filed by Tuesday. The judge also allowed the website to mask the IP addresses of users for now.
