More Laughing At Lawyers

We featured a some amusing emails between lawyers and the Pirate Bay, a Swedish torrent site, some time ago. Here's another ongoing ninja lawyer vs pirate conversation this time between a lawyer representing the MPAA and an admin on isohunt, yet another BitTorrent site. I don't think we've featured isohunt before so go and check it out.

It does seem stupid to go after a search engine but it hasn't stopped them taking down other torrent sites even though they aren't hosting anything illegal themselves.

It would be amusing to see Google's response if the lawyers did try it on with them.

Thta's ridiculous if it's true! Surely if the stuff was illegal they should have got a takedown on the publisher rather than chase Google. Google should have told them to fsck off - the Scientologists may think they are big and clever when they are terrorizing individuals but I would have thought Google would have had the clout to laugh in their faces.

Shouldn't 'terrorizing' be spelt 'terrorising' by us Brits..?

I'm off to start a new campaign.

It should. I blame Merg. And the internets. Probably.

I think the American version is probably now terruhize now anyway. ;)
