IsoHunt Shut Down?

psic writes "One of the most popular torrent search sites, IsoHunt, was taken down on tuesday. The owners of the site say that the move came from their ISP without prior notice, though it is probably linked with the MPAA's lawsuit against various torrent search sites earlier this year. They plan on moving ISPs from the US to Canada, and say that moving the servers so someplace like Sweden or Sealand is not an option, as they put it: "BitTorrent was created for legitimate distribution of large media files, and we stand by that philosophy as a search engine and aggregator."" This is a story we've heard before with other sites, only serving to further demonstrate that playing wack a mole with torrent aggregators isn't the solution to anything.

Now isohunt will move to different country so US law will not apply to it. There'll be no way to kill it. Good job MPIAA! Instead of attacking company itself they chose to use indirect attack at ISP which in effect just made isohunt stronger. After few days of problems.

Keep going MPIA/RIAA!
