Populaire downloadsite Torrentspy.com is definitief gestopt. Torrentspy.com was net als Mininova.org een van de downloadsites op basis van torrents die geen registratiebeleid kende. Alleen nog een trieste mededeling siert de homepage van www.torrentspy.com.
The legal climate in the USA for copyright, privacy of search requests, and links to torrent files in search results is simply too hostile. We spent the last two years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, defending the rights of our users and ourselves.
Ultimately the Court demanded actions that in our view were inconsistent with our privacy policy, traditional court rules, and International law; therefore, we now feel compelled to provide the ultimate method of privacy protection for our users - permanent shutdown.
It was a wild ride,
The TorrentSpy Team
