isohunt under litigation by MPAA + CBC Interview

isohunt.com — Quoted "I'm glad CBC gave me the opportunity to voice our stance, what we do and why the MPAA is after us. Media distributions are converging and decentralizing at the same time on the internet, and it's an issue the general public should be aware of, many of which doesn't know what P2P or BitTorrent is yet."

This is the first P2P litigation inside Canada that I am aware of. This will have major impact on future laws in Canada in regards to P2P applications and sites.

It won't work, MPAA. You're suing him in a US court, but he's in Canada. Guess what? US civil court rulings are not enforceable in Canada. You'll never enforce the ruling (asuming you win) unless he's dumb enough to enter the US. And you can't extradite him, either.Morons.
