Hollywood targets torrents
Wired News reports: Hollywood Wants BitTorrent Dead: "In the United States and the United Kingdom, the Motion Picture Association of America, the main lobbying arm of U.S. film studios, filed civil lawsuits against more than 100 operators of BitTorrent "tracker" servers that point to locations where digital files of movies, music and other content can be found."
Update:
Findlaw provides the complaints.

This is another cat-chasing-the-mouse history they will kill another great tool for internet filesharing and distribution, their greed (and power) is bigger than their vision, all the money they "lose" it's not all loss since not all the people who download a movie it's going to purchase it if no download option available, they make simple mathematics 400 downloads a day it means we are losing 12000 sales a month! geez!! let's sink those damm torrents!! i think they lose more money in stupid thinks that never works, like macrovision DRM and other crap. Better put their trailers on torrents and get free advertising put low res movies available for free,etc. Remember "if you can't against them join them" believe it big moneyheads of hollywood.
