Judge Rules TorrentSpy Destroyed Evidence

Come play kdice writes "A federal judge has handed the MPAA a resounding victory in its copyright infringement lawsuit against TorrentSpy. Judge Florence-Marie Cooper entered a default judgment against Justin Bunnell and the rest of the named defendants in Columbia Pictures et al. v. Justin Bunnell et al. after finding that TorrentSpy 'engaged in widespread and systematic efforts to destroy evidence'. After being sued, TorrentSpy mounted a vigorous defense, including a counter-suit it filed against the MPAA in May 2006, but, behind the scenes, the court documents paint a picture of a company desperately trying to bury any and all incriminating evidence. TorrentSpy has announced its intention to appeal, but its conduct makes a reversal unlikely."

Okay so the troll mod I can kind of understand, (I think the poster made an interesting point but got carried away), but off-topic? WTF, did you hit the wrong button?

"BTW: Tea and Cookies don't yield very good intel from Terrorists willing to blow up little children!"

Neither does torture. While several CIA propaganda pieces have alleged that actionable intel was gathered, there has yet to be a single documented example provided to the public. Instead, all we have are "we promise, we promise!" which doesn't mean much when said by an agency with a well-documented recent history of deception.
