IsoHunt, a popular website offering BitTorrents of mostly pirated material, is to shut down following a court settlement. The site's owner, Canadian Gary Fung, has agreed to pay $110m (£68m) to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
Will this have any impact at all, or is this just ensuring that 10 copies will appear in the coming weeks? Did you use IsoHunt and, if so, where will you turn now for torrents? How much did the MPAA spend to get a $110 million award (of which they will probably only receive a small fraction?)
