MPAA Come Out Fighting

You got to laugh at the desperation of these folks to dominate all electronic communications and media.

Specifically, seven lawsuits were filed in Federal Court across the United States. Most remarkable of these lawsuits was the MPAA's strategy to target Newsgroup NZB indexing sites. Newsgroup indexing sites function much differently than eDonkey2000 or BitTorrent sites, as their role is to supply "NZB" or Newzbin files. These NZB files greatly simplify the task of downloading material from the Newsgroups. It eliminates the once lengthy process of digging through multiple groups and headers to find the desired archive.

In all, nine indexing sites have been targeted (Isohunt.com, BTHub.com and TorrentBox.com all owned by one individual.) BitTorrent: ISOHunt, TorrentSpy, NiteShadow.com, BTHub.com and TorrentBox.com; eDonkey2000: Ed2k-It.com; Newsgroups: NZB-Zone.com, BinNews.com and DVDRs.net.


Lets see how these suits move along, I have reason to believe the court action may become toothless as many of the sites being targetted are not actually in the US and jurisdiction would be a serious issue.

Yeah, this has approximately 0 chance of ever going anywhere. All anyone has to do is point out that the RIAA never even asked first, just tossed them a lawsuit. This will be thrown out, period. But it does make a lot of RIAA noise.
