MPAA Seeks $15 Million From The Pirate Bay

praps writes "Having tasted blood with its victory over TorrentSpy, the MPAA is now stepping up its attack on The Pirate Bay. The association is claiming damages of over $15 million, based on The Pirate Bay's distribution of four films and a TV series — Harry Potter, The Pink Panther, Syriana, Walk the Line and the first season of Prison Break. The Swedish court is unlikely to be as generous as the one in California, although the four Pirate Bay founders are already facing charges of being accessories to breaking copyright law." TorrentSpy, in the meantime, has declined to pay the settlement awarded to the MPAA on Wednesday. In addition to appealing the decision, they have filed for bankruptcy.

Whoever wins the suit doesn't matter.

Ultimately the Marketplace will decide.

If we, the consumer, who made up of a large part of the Marketplace, decide that MPAA should not get to enjoy anything, then, we should stop participating/contributing to the establishments that support MPAA.

In other words, vote with our pocketbooks, people !!!
