Torrentspy sues the MPAA

MPAA allegedly hired a hacker to obtain information from TorrentSpy servers. They supposedly got away with the following information:

“a. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing Torrentspy.com income and expenses from January through June 2005;

b. Private emails of Torrentspy.com/Valence Media principals and employees, including (without limitation) a Valence Media principal’s residential utility bill, showing his home address; insertion orders for client advertising orders on the Torrentspy.com website; and other personal, private and confidential information belonging to Plaintiffs;

c. Graphic file pictures, or “screenshots,” of Torrentspy.com computer servers, revealing information about Torrentspy.com servers and operations, including (without limitation) Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, names, file architecture, indexing of torrent files, and other confidential Torrentspy.com business information and trade secrets;

d. A file containing a list of Torrentspy.com servers and confidential information related to such servers;

e. Torrentspy.com client bills, billing information and other Torrentspy.com business information and trade secrets.”

The tables have turned and now TorrentSpy finds it self suing the MPAA (for conspiracy and invasion of privacy).
