BitTorrent tracker TorrentSpy may have shut down last month, but that wasn’t enough to prevent a federal judge from slapping the site with a $111 million fine yesterday. While BitTorrent didn’t host any copyrighted materials on their own servers, the service did make it easy for users to illegally trade files. And the judge ruled that TorrentSpy’s operators should pay $30,000 for each of the 3,699 instances of copyright infringement shown in the case.
Maybe someone can explain to me why a site that did not host illegal content can be held liable…
