|  Shuttered BitTorrent tracker sued back to the stone age LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - TorrentSpy bit the dust only weeks ago, shuttering its peer-to-peer file-sharing site. Now a federal judge has ordered the company to pay the Motion Picture Association of America $110 million for infringement of thousands of copyrighted film and TV shows. In a four-page final ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper entered the multimillion-dollar judgment against TorrentSpy parent company Valence Media for willfully inducing, contributing and vicariously allowing copyright infringement on its Web site. http://www.reuters.com/article/indus...31061320080509 |

 | The US is not Sweden ; Piratebay gets away with it because there are no laws against what they do. But in the US, linking to illegal content will get you sued and convicted
