You can run but you can't hide from the MPAA

The Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) has expanded its crackdown on online movie piracy by filing seven new lawsuits against online sites. Websites targeted include Isohunt.com, BTHub.com, TorrentBox.com, TorrentSpy.com, NiteShadow.com, Ed2k-it.com, NZB-Zone.com, BinNews.com and DVDRs.net.

“Website operators who abuse technology to facilitate infringements of copyrighted works by millions of people are not anonymous – they can and will be stopped. Disabling these powerful networks of illegal file distribution is a significant step in stemming the tide of piracy on the Internet,” said John G. Malcolm, Executive Vice President and Director of Worldwide Anti-Piracy Operations for the MPAA.

Hey I want to take a moment and thank the guys at MPAA for the nice web links . I think this really is a good way of promoting bittorrent and bittorent sites and I'm sure they're greatful . Edonkey also ows the MPAA one .
I think they forgot about Kazaa and the other guys now . I'm sure they'd love some more free publicity but hey , the MPAA can only do so much .
MPAA : "Promoting sites that let you get free movies" .
