Ok, so say they poor millions of dollars into a lawsuit to make it illegal to use the program BitTorrent. Then they poor millions more into realizing "oh shit we have to shut down the tracker" so they try to sue suprnova, which I am assuming is not owned by an american. So now you have all sorts of litigation problems.

Anyway, they do realize that by stating they will sue "bittorrent", they are only targeting one program out of dozens that run the peer-to-peer system known as Bit Torrent. You can't just sue Bit Torrent, it's not an entitiy, it's just a name for a way of peers to share files. You have to stop the use of every bit torrent program and shut down every tracker....

Listen folks this isn't anything new, oh and for the idiots that use suprnova, don't be surprised when you get a letter from the mpaa and your ISP stating they will take legal action if you do not cease your illegal downloading of movies. That's what you get for using a public tracker.
