"Even though The Pirate Bay has moved to the Sinai Desert, the MPAA is following TPB wherever it goes, lawsuit papers in hand.  TPB hasn't been immune to th legal woes of running a torrent site, but it has had enough protection from Swedish copyright laws (until recently) to help ward off some of the copyright issues that so many torrent sites have been plagued with.  \nThis has been the cursed blessing of TPB for long enough to enable the company to rack up enough resources to keep the legal battles aflame, having yet to buckle under the constant pressure of being sued.  No matter to the MPAA, which has had it out for TPB for years now.  And having crushed TorrentSpy with mountains of legal tape, resulting in a $110 million judgment against TorrentSpy, the MPAA is revved to keep the momentum going.  \nAccording to TorrentFreak, the MPAA is demanding a mere $15.4 million from TPB, to cover claimed losses from torrents of \"Harry Potter,\" \"Syriana,\" \"The Pink Panther,\" \"Walk the Line\" and 13 episodes of the television show \"Prison Break.\"  It doesn't seem as though TPB is shaking in its boots as a result of this most recent lawsuit, but it's more clear than ever: the MPAA is not backing down, and if anything, is more than encouraged by the recent defeat of TorrentSpy.  \nBut until the worldwide laws change in regards to companies being able to take legal battles overseas and subsequently deal with disparate views on copyrighted content, this particular legal battle probably won't go very far."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
