Whip it good: isoHunt down
The popular BitTorrent search engine isoHunt has been downed since yesterday. Most likely due to pressure from the MPAA because of an ongoing legal battle since early January 2005.
As of 12:45 PST a site admin has posted the following update to the temporary placeholder site:
We are moving house. If the tubes run smoothly, we expect to be back in full swing tomorrow.
I’m not sure where these organizations get off suing people who index content. Maybe they ought to go after Google or Yahoo then… It only seems logical to not just pick on the small fish. But then again, that’s the only way they get a response. They figure such a small site won’t be able to recoup and move. What do you think the response would be if they sued Google?
