TorrentSpy Begins Weeding Copyright Content

We’ve posted a few times in the past couple of weeks about the pressure being put on TorrentSpy to begin tracking their users information. Well, it looks like their workaround is going to be banning the ‘banned’ files from being uploaded in the first place. It also appears traces of copyrighted content have already been removed from the site. Of course this doesn’t mean the end of TorrentSpy, but it probably means that other torrent sites will become even larger.

It should be noted that illegal file doesn’t occur at TorrentSpy or the other torrent engines. People use these sites to locate torrent files that can be downloaded via the file-sharing program BitTorrent. In the lawsuit filed by the film industry in Feb. 2006, TorrentSpy is accused of being a powerful tool for those who pirate intellectual property.
