Rather than do so, TorrentSpy decided to <A href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070827/111244.shtml">block access</A> to US users.  Now, you would think this would make the MPAA happy.  After all, the site they were so worried about was no longer an issue for the entire US market.  Instead, the MPAA is back in court claiming that this action is merely <A href="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9795571-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20">another illegal move by the company</A>.  Apparently, the MPAA would rather have TorrentSpy keep operating, but spy on its users, than block access.  That doesn't make much sense if TorrentSpy is really such a huge problem.  Unless, of course, the MPAA doesn't have any real evidence that TorrentSpy is doing anything wrong -- and this is about the only way it hopes to prove its case.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6088EB13-0C9C-4B25-A01B-4BDBC67621A8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
