Interestingly enough, that's where news is actually posted.

I think it would be the same as The Pirate Bay's which are:


The movie titles they are claiming damages for are Harry Potter, Syriana, The Pink Panther and Walk the Line and the 13 episodes of the popular TV-show Prison Break. MPAA demands 222,50 kronor ($37) for each download. For Harry Potter, 261,50 kronor ($43) and for the first season of Prison Break 416 kronor ($68).

Yeah, the MPAA is incredibly stupid if they think they'll ever see a cent of the money.

From the article: "TorrentSpy parent company Valence Media and its owners Justin Bunnell and Wes Park have filed for bankruptcy."

I don't think you get the whole point here. They are far from stupid...by demanding such high amounts of moneu they are sure the 'victims' will surely be out of bussiness and other possible 'victims' will think twice before they start-up or continue to maintain the same activities.
