We have decided on our own, not due to any court order or agreement, to bring
the Torrentspy.com search engine to an end and thus we permanently closed down
worldwide on March 24, 2008.
The legal climate in the USA for copyright, privacy of search requests, and
links to torrent files in search results is simply too hostile. We spent the
last two years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, defending the rights of
our users and ourselves.
Ultimately the Court demanded actions that in our view were inconsistent with
our privacy policy, traditional court rules, and International law; therefore,
we now feel compelled to provide the ultimate method of privacy protection for
our users - permanent shutdown.
